Olympic Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden at waterfront Downtown Seattle, United States.
The Olympic Sculpture Park is a nine-acre public park with modern and contemporary sculpture in Belltown, at the northern end of Seattle's Central Waterfront. It is made up of three parcels linked by a green bridge over the railway tracks and an underpass below the road, descending from the city edge to a beach on Puget Sound. The park holds permanent outdoor works, temporary installations and an indoor pavilion.
The Seattle Art Museum transformed a former Unocal industrial site into this public garden, opening it in January 2007. The redevelopment brought green space and art to a location previously closed to the public.
The park takes its name from the view of the Olympic Mountains rising beyond the water. Large works in steel, glass, and other materials stand freely on the lawns, allowing walkers to see them from different angles.
Access is free and open daily from sunrise to sunset, while the PACCAR Pavilion operates from 9 AM to 4 PM. Paths cross three levels and are mostly paved, making them suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
The three separate parcels are linked by a green bridge over the tracks and an underpass below the road, allowing walkers to go from the center to the water. This design lets pedestrians follow a continuous path without crossing streets or waiting.
