Listen "From Highway to Haven — Inside Providence’s 195 District Park"
Episode Synopsis
The 195 District transformed what used to be a stretch of highway into one of Providence’s most vibrant gathering spots. Park Manager Jacob Nathan joins us to talk about its walkable design, packed event schedule, and what’s next — including the long-awaited pavilion with The Guild Beer Garden and Seven Stars Bakery. From yoga on the green to fireworks on the river, it’s all happening where the highway used to be.
