Olympic Sculpture Park

The Olympic Sculpture Park in a public park situated in Seattle. It was opened on January 20, 2007. The park is an unusual 9-acre design creation that consists of sculpture museum and beach.

The Olympic Sculpture Park was built on the former industrial fuel storage site which belonged to Unocal, oil and gas corporation. But in 1970s Seattle Art Museum proposed the corporation to transform this ugly site into a green park.

This park with its sculptures and Z-shaped platforms is considered to be a new model of an urban park. It should be also mentioned that the park is designed in such a way that it descends 40 feet from the city to the water. It gives the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking city views and Elliot Bay.

The pedestrian route takes its beginning from an exhibition pavilion. The gardens on the Olympic Sculpture Park represent the landscapes of the northwest: The Valley, The Greensward, The Grove, The Meadows, The Shore, and The Tides. Every garden provides the most beautiful background for the sculptures.

In these forests you will find both huge and small sculptures mostly made of steel, stainless steel, glass, aluminum, bronze, etc. A lot of the sculpture pieces come from local collections, some of them were specifically commissioned for the park.

The park has numerous paths, loans siting areas from which great views on Mt. Rainier, the city and the water are opened.

Olympic Sculpture Park has received a lot of awards for its unusual design, engineering and environmental restoration.
