Broadway Hill Park

A Community's Backyard Oasis

Located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Broadway Hill Park is a little green retreat that came from community planning. Sitting at the corner of Federal Avenue East and East Republican Street, it functions as a shared outdoor space for the neighborhood.

What You'll Find Here

The park features a lawn area where you can relax with a book or simply enjoy being outdoors. Parents love this open layout since it's easy to keep tabs on little ones as they run and play. Head to the top of the park and you'll discover various seating options and tables - ideal spots for impromptu picnics or catching up with friends over coffee.

Throughout the park, thoughtfully designed planting areas bring splashes of color and life to this urban retreat. The park includes a community garden that's part of Seattle's P-Patch program, where locals maintain their own garden plots. You can observe different plants growing throughout the year.

Places to Gather

The park's BBQ grills are available for gatherings like birthday celebrations or weekend cookouts. The mix of open spaces and quieter areas offers options for both social gatherings and solitude.

Look around and you might notice a charming pink house nearby that adds a bit of whimsical character to the surroundings.

For the Kids

Instead of traditional playground equipment, Broadway Hill encourages natural play where imagination takes center stage. The spacious lawn gives kids plenty of room to run, tumble, and create their own adventures in the fresh air.

The Story Behind the Park

Completed in 2016, this green space was developed through collaboration between neighborhood advocates and city planners. The name Broadway Hill Park was chosen with purpose, connecting to the area's history when "Broadway" featured prominently in the names of nearby parks.

The designers cleverly worked with the natural slope of the land, arranging features to make the most of the space. In the dense Capitol Hill neighborhood, this park provides valuable outdoor space for residents.
