Updated: October 5, 2026
2026
The City of Seattle is considering the open space in Belltown between Battery & Bell streets and First & Western avenues for a potential future park. City Council has provided funding to SPR to begin planning and early design of a park at this location. This work will include a design study and public outreach to explore possible park uses for the site and placement of accessibility features, investigate site conditions and requirements, and develop a proposed schematic design for the park. This effort does not currently fund completion of the design or construction. For more details, including progress updates, timelines, and upcoming events, please visit our engagement hub:
