Olympic Sculpture Park

One of its biggest strengths is that it is free and open year-round, making art accessible while offering beautiful views of Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, and the Seattle skyline. The park’s walking paths, green spaces, and shoreline access make it ideal for relaxing strolls, photography, and casual visits. From my point of view the world renowned sculptures should be more separated from one another, as some of them feel too close together and appear crowded or overlapping, which can reduce their individual visual impact. Hard to do in the limited space. That said ............ definitely put it on your "go too" list when visiting Seattle.

Designed by New-York based architect WEISS/MANFREDI, built in 2007. The park takes the city across the highway and the train track to the water. Notice how the topography changes as you traverse across the site. The promenade is well-curated with many art pieces along the way. A remarkable piece of landscape and architecture design. Definitely worth visiting!

2 mile walk with some beautiful views? Yes sign me up please. This was a great way to celebrate my Sunday afternoon. I was able to run into people who finished the half marathon and full marathon in the AM, so inspiring! The only reason why I didn't give this a full five stars is because there is so much construction going on but even still breathtaking views of the water, a nice bridge that leads to the Queen Anne area and the trail that is directly connected to the Seattle Art Museum. This park is perfect for a jog, run, walk or just to people watch!

It's a lovely stroll, either in their upper gardens or down below. Move leisurely through the park, and wonder at eclectic artwork. No need to rush, take a moment to relax.
