Davey Lopes Park
History
The large playground was renovated in Spring 2026. Several new play features were added to the main structure, as well as all-new swings for ages 2-12. New picnic tables and tree plantings round out the improvements.
The park was deeded to the City in 1911 and is named in honor of East Providence native Davey Lopes, former major league All-Star who played second base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
