Our Purpose

The Jacqueline Clements Park Collective is a volunteer-led neighborhood group made up of residents located in South Providence with the mission of bringing together the community through positive engagement and activities.  The park which was just newly renovated by the city in late 2023 has a very checkered past with unhealthy and unsafe behaviors including drug use and needles on the ground, sex work, assaults, etc.   In an effort to redirect the intentions and use of space, we've been working hard to create programming in the park.
