Prospect Terrace Park is a park located on Congdon Street in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. The park was founded in 1869, on land that was given to the city by residents of the neighborhood. The park is known as "The Jewel of the City" for its dramatic elevated view of Downtown Providence.

A statue in the park of Roger Williams was dedicated in 1939. Roger Williams was an English-born American Puritan minister, theologian, and author who founded Providence Plantations, which became the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and now the State of Rhode Island. He was a staunch advocate for religious freedom, separation of church and state, and fair dealings with Native Americans.

The statue is made of granite and is around 15 feet tall. Since no one knows what Roger Williams looked like, this is just an artist's interpretation of Roger's appearance.

When Roger Williams died, he was buried on his property. In an attempt to honor him, his remains were moved to the Old North Burial Ground in 1860. In 1939, his remains (more like dust) were moved into the tomb that lies directly beneath his statue at Prospect Terrace.
