Victor Steinbrueck Park

Originally designed by architect and activist Victor Steinbrueck, with landscape architect Rich Haag, Steinbrueck Park is one of the most well-loved and well-used parks in Seattle – particularly by visitors to the iconic Pike Place Market. Walker Macy’s design for improvements is helping the park adapt to a changing context while preserving its legacy and significance. The firm’s design process emphasized inclusive engagement strategies, acknowledging the park’s diverse user groups and legacy as a democratic space within downtown. This on-structure project features comprehensive upgrades that enhance park use, identity, access, maintenance and sustainability. The park re-opened in Spring 2025, completing a sequence of adjoined public spaces linking Pike Place Market, MarketFront, the Overlook Walk, and Waterfront Park.
