Franciscan Park
Franciscan Park, also known as Bell Street Dog Park, is a large, well-loved off-leash dog park in the heart of Providence. It offers plenty of space for dogs to roam freely and play, with amenities including fresh drinking water, donated toys like tennis balls, seating for owners, and paved walking paths. The park is community-maintained, wheelchair accessible, and shaded by trees, although some areas are worn down to dust. It does not currently have a separate section for small dogs.

Great place for dogs to go and run around freely without needing a leash. Just wish they could make a section for small dogs that might not feel safe around such bigger dogs. Add that and this place would be amazing.
Best dog park in Providence. Been taking my dog here since he was a puppy, almost 7 years ago! Huge area for dogs to play as well as having donated toys, balls, and chairs for the humans to sit on. Always well maintained by the community. My dog and I love Franciscan (Bell St) park!!! 🙂
Off leash only so if your dog doesn’t play nice do not bring him. Beautiful park beautiful people🤍🙏 beautiful dogs
Also know as Bell Street Dog Park.
Large park space in the middle of Providence. It’s a decent park, but needs some help from the city.
Water is available from a spigot. Trash and bags were available. The grass has been a lot worn down though and needs some revitalizing – in this dry heat, it’s mostly dust. Either mulch or some grass maintenance needs to be done.
Lots of shade from the trees. Hillside is included in the fencing, but it does get close to the highway at the bottom.
Dogs were all well-behaved.
Bumped into one of the volunteers who was cleaning up trash from “overnight users” (not dog owners)
Always a great group of dogs. Plenty of space to roam and there is fresh drinking water available. Stocked with tennis balls for the fetch lovers and a nice paved walking path to keep owners active.
