Over a hundred years ago the Olmsted Brothers put into place a plan for Seattle and its parks - this landscape design firm is largely responsible for laying out the master plans for our amazing parks system, but the Seattle Parks Foundation is making sure that the plans are implemented! Lake Union Park was identified by the Olmsted Brothers as an ideal park setting for our city and the first part of the plan to make it reality is complete!
The overall park will be roughly 12 acres when complete, but Seattle and South Lake Union residents can enjoy the first 1.6 acres now! The first phase of the Lake Union Park is complete including a large lawn, waterfront steps, and a pedestrian bridge. The park is set to be completed in 2010. One of the visions includes a trail around Lake Union! I am extremely excited about this project and see it as having a huge impact on connecting Seattle neighborhoods and trails not to mention South Lake Union real estate!
Please if you get a chance, check out the Seattle Parks Foundation website and donate to them!!! These guys know what they are doing!
