Large portion of park closes mid-January through mid-March 2024
Seattle Parks and Recreation(SPR) is happy to announce a new play structure is being installed at Urban Triangle Park, 2100 Westlake Ave. in the South Lake Union neighborhood. The contractor will mobilize at the park the week of January 15 and close a large portion of the park for the upcoming installation. We anticipate the project will be complete by mid-March 2024.
This new custom play structure references historical neighborhood structures and is the final element for the park.
This park opened in 2019 and is the first SPR property to have a coffee shop integrated into the design with direct access to the park. The design includes an open lawn, seating edge, lighting, ADA access, places for vendors, landscaping, and soon a new central play structure.
Additionally, public artwork Escape Destinations is located in the southwest corner of the park. The artwork created by Janet Zweig was commissioned with funding from SPR’s 1% for Art funds, consists of two signs that employ a bus-blind device to scroll through lighted names of fictional destinations found in literature, games, film, television and comics from the eighth century BC to 2019. The yellow sign displays place names from works made for children; the blue sign displays place names from works made for adults. Changing every day, the piece regularly gives the park a new name. Some may be instantly recognizable, while others may inspire viewers to search and discover something new.
