Seattle Seeks Public Input for Westlake Park Revitalization As Part of Mayor’s Downtown Activation Plan

With a vision for public spaces, they are turning their eyes northward as Seattle beckons its residents to contribute ideas for revitalizing a key urban locale. According to a post on

Seattle Parks and Recreation

, they invite the community to dialogue about reimagining Westlake Park. This initiative aligns with the Mayor’s Downtown Activation Plan.

Long considered the connective tissue of Seattle’s downtown hub, Westlake Park is a testament to the city’s evolution, unaltered design since 1988, yet surrounded by a landscape in flux. SPR and SPF are steering this ship toward a fresh horizon, with plans to make headway on the update by Spring 2026. AP Diaz, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation, underscored the park’s significance: “Westlake Park is the focal point of downtown, where with our great civic partner, Downtown Seattle Association, everyone comes together. We will continue to build a seminal intersection of open space, robust economic development and city pride in furtherance of the Mayor’s Downtown Activation Plan and in preparation for the World Cup and a lasting legacy beyond,” he said, per

The project, which aims to draw a diverse mix of voices from residents to business owners, aims to revamp the park into a multifaceted gathering spot for families, locals, visitors, and enterprises. Expected enhancements include upgraded play areas, public art installation prospects, and improved amenities to accommodate a surge in city dwellers and World Cup tourists.

The call to action for public participation will culminate in a community meeting slated for next Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Westlake Park, located at 1512 4th Avenue. With the intent to foster an integrated forum for ideas, all are encouraged to attend and influence the final blueprint of this pivotal civic project.
