Construction Coming Soon to Westlake Park

Seattle Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with Seattle Parks Foundation, invites the community to learn about the updated park design and upcoming construction at Westlake Park.  Please join us on Thursday, September 11, 2025 at the SnackBox in Westlake Park at 401 Pine Street in Seattle from 4 pm to 5:30 pm to learn more.

Over the past year, Seattle Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with Seattle Parks Foundation, has convened a cross section of residents, public agencies, businesses, property owners and community service providers to improve Westlake Park and reinvigorate Downtown Seattle’s community commons. We are excited to announce that construction on this project will begin in early October 2025. The park will be closed during construction and will reopen in the spring of 2026.

This project will enhance park visitors’ experience and serve families, tourists, locals, businesses, and property owners by creating a more open gathering space and providing amenities to encourage people to spend more time in the heart of the City.
