Freeway Park Association

At the end of a long day, when the spring leaves are aglow with the low rays of a setting sun, Freeway Park transforms into the urban oasis that it was meant to be. We’ll leave you today with this moment of peace and the hope that the park will continue to thrive with a community of stewards like YOU at the helm. Good night. Love ya! 😘

It’s hard to imagine this scene back in 1976 when the park first opened - but if you know Lawrence Halprin, you know he imagined this park as a place for play and exploration, movement and meetings, “happenings” between neighbors and people just passing through.

Freeway Park is Seattle’s most unique urban park and one of PBS’s “10 parks that changed America”. Designed by Lawrence Halprin & Assoc (led by Angela Danadjieva) to reconnect Seattle neighborhoods across I5, it is widely considered a masterwork of American design and a precedent-setting park that single-handedly defined a new land-use typology for cities everywhere. However, despite its credentials, Freeway Park is still one of Seattle’s best-kept secrets, a hidden gem in the heart of the city. Help bring this national and local treasure to life on its 50th Anniversary with your Give Big support!
