Veterans Memorial Parkway
City/Town: East Providence
Length: 2.4 miles from Second Street to Route 103
Scenic Highway Designation: November, 1991
Description: This runs along the Providence River and affords impressive vistas of the downtown Providence skyline. It is lined with mature maple, oak, black pine and sycamore trees, and passes the locally notable landmarks of Squantum Woods, Watchemoket Cove and Fort Hill Overlook.
Although entirely within an urban area, Veterans Memorial Parkway has pastoral charm with the nearby urban landscape masked by the adjacent heavily wooded areas of both public and private land.
Constructed between 1910 and 1920, Veterans Memorial Parkway is an example of the Parkway movement in the early 20th century. It is significant for is association with the Greater Metropolitan Park Plan for Providence and for its design by the nationally prominent Olmsted firm. The Parkway has been recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places
