| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
 Bergen
Place Park in downtown Ballard is located in the heart of the business district
on the triangular site between Leary Avenue, 22nd Avenue NW, and Market
Street.
Bergen Place Park was originally developed utilizing Forward Thrust funds
and dedicated by King Olaf of Norway in 1975. The Crown Hill/Ballard Neighborhood
Planning Association proposed the redesign of Bergen Place Park in the 1998
neighborhood plan.
