Seattle Gas Works Park
The Seattle Gas Works Park is located on the north side of the United Nations Lake, facing downtown Seattle. It is the best place to overlook the beautiful skyline of the central area of Seattle. It allows people to experience the beauty brought by distance and understand why Seattle is called the "Emerald City"!
This was originally a large gas petrochemical plant, a plant that extracts fuel and gas from coal and oil. For decades, nearby residents have had to endure the huge damage to the environment caused by the large amount of pollutants emitted by the factory. After the factory was shut down and abandoned, the Seattle government attached great importance to environmental protection and decided to transform it into a city central park.
Richard Hager's design team boldly used the existing resources of the base and designed based on the existing elements, retaining some industrial equipment, repairing the polluted land, and building it into a public entertainment park.
