Blackstone Parks Conservancy

The Blackstone Parks Conservancy is dedicated to the preservation and stewardship of historic Blackstone Park Conservation District and Blackstone Boulevard.

If you’ve ever walked the Blackstone Boulevard path amidst the cherry trees in the spring or watched the leaves turn magnificent colors along the Seekonk River in the fall, you know our work well. 

We care for these two city parks in partnership with the Providence Parks Department and the Department of Public Works.

The Conservancy is a membership organization with an all-volunteer board of directors. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. We accomplish our goals with help from many dedicated volunteers. And we need your help to maintain the trails, native plants, and waterways to keep the parks and our neighborhood healthy.

To fund our projects, we rely on our members' contributions and competitive grant awards for some projects. We welcome your volunteer work as well as your suggestions for how to improve both parks. Your support will help realize our vision: healthy urban green space for all.
