Battery Street Tunnel Future Park

2026

The City of Seattle is considering transfer of the former Battery Street Tunnel Right-of-Way(between Battery & Bell Streets and 1st & Western Avenues in Belltown) from Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) for development of a new park. City Council has provided funding to SPR to begin planning and early design of a park at this location. This project 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 is a planning project and does not currently fund completion of the design phase or construction.
