Hull Street Playground

If you live in East Providence and somehow haven’t found this place yet, you’re missing out. Hull Street is one of those low-key neighborhood spots where you can actually hear yourself think — the swings get a solid workout, the basketball courts see real pickup games, and the open grass field is big enough that kids can genuinely run until they drop. Shade trees make it survivable in the summer, and when the ice cream truck rolls through, the whole vibe just clicks. Walkers use the path regularly, so it’s not just a kids-only scene — honestly, it works for pretty much everyone.
