Providence Metropark is a regional park near Grand Rapids, Ohio, USA, owned and managed by Metroparks Toledo. The park contains mule-drawn canal boat rides on the Miami and Erie Canal and features canal lock 44, the only original functioning lock in the state of Ohio.[3]

The park also contains the Isaac Ludwig Mill which was built in 1866 over a two-year period. The mill was originally a sawmill powered by a water wheel. It was converted to a grist mill driven by water turbines in the 1880s. Today, it functions as a living museum.

The park is connected by a walking trail to Bend View Metropark and Farnsworth Metropark.
