Donigian Park, or Valley Street Park as it is known is located in Olneyville, not far from Olneyville Square. Neglected for year, the City of Providence has recently spent time and money making improvements to the park. This past summer the River Rangers, a youth stewardship program coordinated by the Greenway Project, helped keep the park clean and planned activities in the park for local children and families. This year the park was the site of the annual Greenway Festival. In the past the festival was held in a parking lot in Olneyville Square. This year we were able to celebrate the success of the Greenway Project in a newly cleaned and renovated park
