The Mill River Park, "as is" , without carousel or ice skating rink or other man made obstruction is very inviting.
Note the native fall flowers in purple
This is the "Purple" Pedestrian bridge - closed by a state inspector for some odd reason - note that it is with standing much debris left by the Hurricane and Tropical storm damage - much more of a problem than a few pedestrians!

for historical pictures of the park, and the construction phase, take a look at themillriver.com
I couldn't agree with you more. We do NOT need giant topiary frog bathrooms (with glowing eyes), marble sidewalks, and a space-age bridge. This is New England. An interactive water feature or two would be nice for the kids but I say: plant more native trees, create a wildlife-friendly habitat, and concrete's fine for the sidewalks.
FYI: a problem with removing the debris: when they re-did the Park, they forgot to leave access for bridge maintenance - we used to have a ramp for heavy equipment to get down there to clean the debris out twice a year.
