Freeway Park
Jim Ellis Freeway Park is Seattle’s largest downtown public space. The 5.2 acre park opened on July 4th, 1976, bridging Seattle’s Downtown and First Hill neighborhoods after they were severed by the construction of I5. Designed by Lawrence Halprin and Angela Danadjieva, it is widely considered a masterwork of a modernist master and a precedent setting park that single-handedly defined a new land-use typology for American cities.
