Looking for a place where I can look at the skyline/downtown area for free (meaning you don’t need to go to a rooftop restaurant or anything)

If a hike and a distant view works for you, check out Wolf Hill in Smithfield

I’m looking for more of downtown city observatory vibe but this is really cool. I’ll def check it out

I don’t really understand what you mean by some of these bc they’re not in providence/downtown providence and/or your can’t see any of the buildings. Prospect terrace park is more of what I’m looking for. I’m not sure where the Bank of America tower is in providence place? When I look it up it comes up as the Superman building but I thought it was closed and you can go there?

Yes I figured but didn't have any, so ...
And while you can drive to top of Neutaconkanut Hill, parking in the lot on Plainfield and climbing its marked trails is fun ... and offers great views.
Amazing that it's in a state capital city: it seems more removed.
