Olympic Sculpture Park
A free outdoor sculpture park on the waterfront. Alexander Calder's giant red 'Eagle' and other works stand with Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains behind them.
Olympic Sculpture Park, opened in 2007 by the Seattle Art Museum, is a zigzagging green space. It descends from the city slope, crosses the railroad and highway, and reaches the Elliott Bay waterfront. Outdoor works include Alexander Calder's red steel sculpture 'Eagle,' Richard Serra's 'Wake' and Louise Bourgeois's 'Eyes,' set against the bay and the Olympic Mountains, with superb sunsets. Admission is free. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Space Needle or the waterfront trail, and you can also walk along the waterfront all the way to Pike Place Market.
Opening hours
