The Jewelry District is a neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island located just southeast of Downtown.

A major construction project completed in 2013 relocated Interstate 195 further south, reconnecting the district with Downtown Providence and freeing 19 buildable acres of land.

During the 2000s and early 2010s, a segment of Interstate 195 that marked the northeastern edge of the Jewelry District was relocated south.

Dubbed the "Iway", the relocation project made available buildable 19 acres of land in and adjacent to the Jewelry District.

The large building had served as a power station from 1912 to 1995, and subsequently sat vacant and decaying for many years.

The park was home to a decommissioned Russian submarine, Juliet 484, which was used in 2000 for the filming of the movie K-19: The Widowmaker in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
