India Point Park
India Point Park is a park in the Fox Point neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island at the confluence of the Seekonk River and Providence River. The park takes its name from the maritime activity connecting Providence with the East and West Indies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Friends of India Point Park )〕 The East Bay Bike Path begins at the eastern end of the park, and crosses over the Washington Bridge before heading to Watchemoket Square in East Providence and continuing on to Bristol and the Mount Hope Bridge. The park is also a part of the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail.
==History==
In the 1960s, declines in the area's use for shipping led to its being redeveloped as recreational open space. Local architectural historian William McKenzie Woodward noted that the construction of Interstate 195 isolated the park from the rest of the East Side, of which he believed is an effect poorly mitigated by the pedestrian walkway. Consequently, space is reserved for parking in the park. The original pedestrian bridge over I-195 was demolished for an expanded linear park bridge that now provides greater access for the greater Fox Point neighborhood. Once the George Redman Linear Park and Pedestrian Span of the Washington Bridge is complete in late summer 2014, foot traffic will be largely expanded.
RIDOT continued work on the replacement bridge, to be called the India Point Park Pedestrian Bridge, through the late fall of 2007 and winter of 2008. Slated to open in September 2007, efforts to save a large caliper tree on the Fox Point side and complications in construction pushed the opening to October 2008 - three years after the demolition of the old bridge.
