Current Projects In the six years since it was founded, private donations and grants have enabled Seattle Parks Foundation and community partners to complete 23 park projects, including four brand new parks, nine improvement projects, and three restorations of historic park features. The Parks Foundation currently has several projects in the works, including our bench and tree programs, our linear park report Bands of Green, and a campaign to build a major waterfront park at the south end of Lake Union.
