Burnside Park is a small park situated in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, adjacent to Kennedy Plaza. Named for Ambrose Burnside, a general in the American Civil War from Rhode Island, an equestrian statue was erected in his honor in the late 19th century, and sits in the center of the park.〔Wilson, np.; Eicher, p. 156.〕 Burnside Park was the location of the camp of the Occupy Providence movement (patterned after the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City) during the Fall of 2011. ==History== "Burnside Park" was originally known as City Hall Park. It was dedicated in 1892 and landscaped following the completion of Union Station in 1898. Monumental sculpture was added in the first decade of the 20th century, including the resetting of the equestrian portrait of General Ambrose E. Burnside (1887, Launt Thompson, sculptor) from Exchange Place in 1906.
