About Broadway Hill Park in Seattle
Broadway Hill Park is a community-initiated green space located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Situated at the corner of Federal Avenue East and East Republican Street, this park serves as a "front porch" and public yard for the surrounding community.
The park features a large central lawn area, providing ample space for relaxation and casual recreation. At the top of the site, visitors can find varied seating options and tables, offering places to gather, picnic, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The park's design incorporates landscaped planting areas, adding natural beauty and environmental benefits to the urban setting.
Broadway Hill Park includes a community garden operated as part of Seattle's P-Patch program, allowing local residents to cultivate their own plants and produce. The park also offers opportunities for natural play, encouraging children to interact with the environment in creative ways.
Completed in 2016, the park was developed through collaboration between the local community and city planners. Its name, Broadway Hill Park, was chosen to reflect the area's history, as it provides a link to the neighborhood's past when "Broadway" was part of the names of nearby parks.
The park's design takes advantage of the site's topography, with amenities and features arranged to maximize usability and aesthetic appeal. Its location and features make it a valuable asset for the densely populated Capitol Hill area, providing much-needed open space for residents and visitors alike.
