About Occidental Park

Occidental Park sits in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. London plane trees offer shade, and benches plus nearby cafe seating give people places to rest. Visitors can play bocce or ping pong, and a play area added in 2019 has climbing equipment. The square also holds carved totem poles and the Seattle Fallen Firefighters Memorial, while neighboring shops include bookstores, galleries and boutiques.
