Peace Park (Seattle)

Peace Park is a small park located in Seattle, Washington, situated at the corner of 15th Avenue East and East Denny Way in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The park's design and creation were driven by community activists with the intention of creating a space dedicated to peace and environmental awareness.

The park features a central circular gathering space surrounded by landscaping. A key element is a series of plaques embedded in the ground, each bearing the inscription "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in multiple languages. These plaques reflect the park's global vision of peace and understanding.

Peace Park is maintained by a combination of city resources and volunteer efforts from the local community. It serves as a gathering place for small events, informal meetings, and quiet reflection. Its relatively small size and location within a dense urban neighborhood make it a valuable pocket park providing respite from the surrounding city environment. The park is accessible to the public and is open year-round.
