Central Falls
Pierce Park and Riverwalk
Central Falls' Riverwalk, completed in 1991, includes a river outlook,
a walkway, and recreational facilities. A plaque describes a 1676 battle—part
of King Philip's War—between a force from Rehoboth, led by Captain
Michael Pierce, and Narragansett Indians. The riverwalk is part of the
Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor.
