Kids love to play on fun playground rides. But in doing that, they can also learn about the importance of being a good neighbor when you take them to the Peace and Plenty Community Park. This long-awaited community playground attraction has been in the making for some time, and now that it has been unveiled, it symbolizes the importance of working together. Neighbors, community families and the City of Providence Parks Department have all collaborated to create this fun place on the site that was once an old apartment building. Since that structure was demolished, this beacon of unity stands in its place for friends and families to enjoy.

Your week is filled with unnecessarily serious moments. Laugh it all away when you take in a show at the Comedy Connection. Nationally recognized talents like Dennis Miller and Rosie O’Donnell are just two of the comedians who have graced the stage at this popular club on the nightlife scene. This venue has ties to the Boston entertainment Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall, which serves to explain the consistently entertaining (not to mention hilarious) performers that are regularly on the bill.

At AS220, creative artistic expression is highly encouraged. This popular downtown spot brings together such diverse groups as local artists, families, and tourists to enjoy selections from the city's arts, music and entertainment scene. The venue hosts live performances at least six nights a week that include live bands, poetry readings and performance art, just to name a few. There is also a gallery on site that features a rotating exhibit of the work of local artists.
