Discover the Historic Charm of Jenks Park Cogswell Tower

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from downtown Providence, head south on Washington Street towards the Providence River. Continue straight to the intersection with Broad Street. Turn left onto Broad Street and follow it south for about 1.5 miles. You will pass several shops and restaurants along the way. Keep an eye out for local landmarks to help you orient yourself. Once you reach Central Falls, look for Jenks Park on your right. The Cogswell Tower is located in the park at 580 Broad St, Central Falls, RI 02863.

• Bus

  From the downtown area, you can catch the RIPTA bus number 1 or 3 heading towards Central Falls. Board the bus at any of the designated stops on Washington or Westminster Street. Stay on the bus for approximately 15-20 minutes. Get off at the stop closest to Broad Street and Central Falls. From there, walk south on Broad Street for about 5 minutes. Jenks Park will be on your right, and the Cogswell Tower is located within the park.

• Bike

  If you prefer to bike, rent a bike from one of the local bike-sharing stations in downtown Providence. Head south on the South Main Street bike path, which connects to a broader bike lane that leads to Broad Street. Follow Broad Street towards Central Falls. The ride is about 2 miles and should take around 10-15 minutes. Once you reach Jenks Park, secure your bike and enjoy the view of Cogswell Tower.
