Parks in this region are pretty incredible because they offer so many outdoor activity options for all age groups and all members of the family! Knickerbocker park is no different. With walking trails, baseball and grassy fields, splash pad, playground, picnic areas, and even a dog park separated by small and large dogs, this park really has it all! Not to mention, the breathtaking views of the city will not disappoint!
I brought my dog here to introduce him to the area since I just bought a house in Providence. Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed by this park as some of the Henderson parks I'm used to. Maybe I'm biased because I live in Henderson but a couple of things about Knickerbocker left more to be desired in comparison to others I've been to. The dog park was very nice although it offered no shade. The water fountain for dogs spouted water that felt boiling hot. I'm glad I brought a bowl and ice water. And the fenced off garbage area by the dog park obviously needed emptying because I swear when the wind blew I would catch a whiff of what I can only imagine the inside of a garbage truck smells like.
Also, for being an over 100 degree day this park was pretty crowded. From what I understand Providence is getting a second park - Huckleberry on the corner of Farm & Egen Crest. The area is growing so I think the second park will be well received and a great edition to the community!
