Special Announcement

The Friends of Seward Park (FoSP) was awarded a Small and Simple Grant from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods to create a Comprehensive Trails Plan for the inner (forest) trails at Seward Park.

FoSP hired the Columbia City landscape architecture firm Johnson Southerland to create a plan for Seward Park, a 270-acre Olmsted-designed park that preserves old growth forest in the heart of Seattle.
