Construction will include a history trail with interactive stations, a 300-foot-long fountain, a model-boat pond, a tree grove with tables and benches, and a restored shoreline habitat."

It’s opening day at Lake Union Park
Seattle’s newest park — or at least a chunk of it — will open officially Wednesday at South Lake Union with a public celebration. Lake Union Park’s first 1.6 acres have been completed after a year and a half of construction.
Visitors can use a terraced boardwalk, cross to Westlake Avenue on a new bridge, check out vessels at the historic ships wharf and enjoy the waterfront views. Even before its official opening, the unfinished park has attracted residents and workers from the growing South Lake Union neighborhood, said Todd Burley, Seattle Parks Foundation spokesman.
