The Olympic Sculpture Park has transformed a nine-acre industrial site into open and vibrant green space for art. This new waterfront park gives Seattle residents and visitors the opportunity to experience a variety of sculpture in an outdoor setting, while enjoying the incredible views and beauty of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Admission is free.

See the works of art located throughout the 9-acre park. From starting out as a bluff overlooking Puget Sound to a petroleum transfer and distribution facility to a sculpture park, the site has experienced radical transformations over the last 100 years. Weiss/Manfredi’s 2,200-foot Z-shaped path links three land parcels and leads from a steel-and-glass pavilion through four ecological environments to Elliott Bay.

A sculpture park at the intersection of the city and the sound—a series of gardens that create several distinctive archetypal landscapes found in the Pacific Northwest. The park’s innovative design has achieved a wide range of environmental restoration goals.
