Freeway Park
4.2 (1,187)park
4.2 (1,187)An innovative brutalist urban park spanning the interstate, blending concrete waterfalls, lush plantings, and hidden lawns.
Description
Spanning the interstate, this public space transforms a blind spot into a green urban oasis. Designed by Lawrence Halprin in 1976, the park uses an undulating landscape of concrete waterfalls, plazas, walking paths, and lawns to weave the surrounding city together. Managed by Seattle Parks and Recreation alongside community programs from the Freeway Park Association, the grounds offer lawns for relaxing alongside vibrant community events.
