Longer days. Warmer weather. Sunny weekends. June is the perfect time to plan a picnic—and when you live at Emblem 125, some of Providence’s most scenic green spaces are just a short walk or drive away.

Whether you’re packing a full spread or just grabbing a snack and a book, here are a few picnic-perfect spots to explore—and some ideas for what to bring along.

India Point Park

Just minutes from your front door, this waterfront gem offers plenty of grassy space, shady trees, and panoramic views of the Providence River. Set up near the walking path or by the dock and enjoy the breeze. Pro tip: go around golden hour for some seriously stunning views.

What to pack: A charcuterie board from Eastside Marketplace, sparkling water, and a blanket you don’t mind getting a little grass-stained.

Roger Williams Park

This sprawling park is perfect for a more “classic picnic” vibe. There’s space to spread out, trails to explore, and even a pond if you feel like paddling afterward. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Emblem 125—worth every minute.

What to pack: Sandwiches from Plant City Deli, fresh fruit, and sunscreen (trust us).

Waterplace Park

Tucked into downtown and surrounded by city views, Waterplace Park offers a quiet escape right in the heart of the action. It’s a great lunch-break or post-work picnic spot—especially during WaterFire season when the river comes alive at night.

What to pack: A grab-and-go salad or smoothie from Bolt Coffee, your sunglasses, and a good book.

Prospect Terrace Park

Need a view with your lunch? Prospect Terrace offers one of the best skyline overlooks in the city. Bring a friend, a snack, or just your journal and take in the quiet with a side of cityscape.

What to pack: Coffee and pastries from Seven Stars Bakery, plus a light sweater if you’re staying past sunset.

Dine Outside, Providence-Style

There’s nothing like a laid-back picnic to help you slow down and enjoy the season. With so many scenic options near Emblem 125, all you need is a blanket and a snack to turn any afternoon into a mini escape.
