Getting outside in Pleasant View
The biggest driver of outdoor recreation in Pawtucket is the Blackstone River, and the Festival Pier 2 miles south of the heart of the neighborhood provides a boat launch. Festival Pier is also the site of the annual Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival, where residents race in fiberglass Taiwanese-style dragon boats and enjoy cultural performances and a dumpling-eating contest. Slater Memorial Park, located 2.5 miles east of the neighborhood, has playgrounds, soccer fields, walking trails and a dog park. The Burbage Theater Company, located just west of the Pleasant View neighborhood along the Blackstone River, puts on plays with local actors and offers volunteer opportunities for theater enthusiasts.

Getting around Pleasant View
The Pawtucket-Central Falls Commuter Rail Station, which opened in January 2023, is about 1.5 miles from Pleasant View and connects riders to Boston within a 68-minute train ride and Providence within 15 minutes. The neighborhood is right along Interstate 95, making it easy for residents to access Providence to the south or Boston to the north if they prefer to drive. Getting around Pawtucket is a little more challenging. The #1 bus line runs up and down Broadway, through the center of Pleasant View, but the scant number of busses means it’s not always convenient. “You do need a car to get around,” Zdravesky says. “There is public transit, but it’s underfunded and ridership is low.”

The Stop & Shop grocery chain has a location in the heart of Pleasant View, making it easy for residents to access fresh produce, meats and pantry essentials, while Polonia Market offers authentic Polish food, such as kielbasa and smoked bacon. The eclectic discount store A Little Bit Of Everything sells a mix of groceries and secondhand goods for bargain-seekers. The Rhode Island Antiques Mall is considered by residents to be a hidden gem for collectibles, home décor and more. Tacontento, located off of Broadway in the heart of Pleasant View, dishes up authentic street tacos like the birria tacos with a side of birria consommé for dipping. On the northern end of the neighborhood, Super Dragon serves authentic and inexpensive Chinese food, such as lo mein.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
