In the seven years since it was founded, private donations and grants have enabled Seattle Parks Foundation and community partners to complete 24 park projects, including three 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 Lake Union Park - a 12-acre waterfront park in the center of Seattle.
