About this Event
Join us Saturday, November 7 from 9am to 3pm for a 10.5-mile hike across Providence! Inspired by the San Francisco Crosstown Trail, this walking route traverses both quiet neighborhoods and a variety of parks across the city of Providence. Cross the city by foot for a whole new perspective on PVD!
A variant of the Providence Crossstown Trail that goes through Olneyville and the West End, taking in the following highlights:
* Neutaconkanut Hill
* Merino Park
* Woonasquatucket River Greenway
* Donigian Park
* Dexter Training Ground
* Roger Williams Park
* Columbia Park
* JWU Harborside Campus
* Fields Point windmills
* Save the Bay Center
Halfway Point/Lunch Stop: Urban Greens, 93 Cranston Street. Those who are not joining for the whole walk can peel off after lunch!
This is the fourth Crosstown Trail walk organized by a stellar team that includes Justin Boyan, Providence dad and co-founder of Climate Action Rhode Island; Traci Picard, Public Historian, and Sarah Zurier, an Architectural Historian for the R.I. Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission. Check out the walking routes of our first three walks here!
Note: this is a rigorous urban hike. Please bring water and wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes, and be prepared to be flexible with restroom stops as we will rely on using restrooms en route as needed in coffee shops and restaurants.
