I-5 Colonnade
About
I-5 Colonnade is a winding series of bike paths, trails, and an off-leash area running under the I-5 highway. This space helps link the Eastlake and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. In summer 2025, the pump track project was completed, in partnership with the community, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. The project modernized the Tqalu Skills Zone with a paved main track and an adaptive, beginner-friendly track designed for riders of all ages and abilities.
I-5 Colonnade Off-Leash Area
I-5 Colonnade park is located on a steep slope under the I-5 freeway just north of downtown Seattle. This off-leash area covers .5 acre with several large tiers connected by walkways and some stairs. It has a crushed gravel surface, several benches, and a potable water source at the north entrance. Since the park is located directly under I-5, there is protection from the rain, making it a desirable all-weather experience.
