I'm not sure what time you can enter the mall...but I would think it's more dangerous than walking around the streets downtown or the Upper East Side- Providence is usually only dangerous at night. Anyway, if I were you I would call or go to the security office to make sure there is security on duty and what times in the am, because things always change...I would think there has to be at least one at all times if the mall is unlocked; if this is the case, I'm sure security accommodates for people walking because alot of people probably do it. With the nice weather coming, I consider the Upper East Side, which has a nice area to walk on the middle of Blackstone Blvd.
Not sure there's much security though parking is free. It's a nice area by the water.
