The Olympic Sculpture Park occupies a nine-acre strip of reclaimed industrial land on the Seattle waterfront, free to enter and open every day of the year. It is a branch of the Seattle Art Museum and displays large-scale outdoor sculpture by Alexander Calder, Richard Serra, Ellsworth Kelly, and Louise Bourgeois, among others.
The park is designed as a single zigzag path descending from Western Avenue to the water's edge, crossing rail lines and the Alaskan Way on land bridges. The best piece is probably Richard Serra's Wake — five curved steel toruses arranged in a row — but the setting as much as any individual work is the attraction: Elliott Bay to the west, the Olympic Mountains beyond, and in the foreground the city's active waterfront. The park connects to the Seattle Aquarium and the Waterfront to the south.
