Great display of totem poles..in heart of Pioneer Square. Walkable area..close to many other sites.Only draw back is the amount of homeless villages that have set up in the square.

Still pretty and holds a lot of history. If your resourceful you can find a few gems still in there!

Covered Pavillion on the way(being built) and the playground is under construction as well.

A great place to find just about anything in the way of hardware and electrical equipment and tools.

Pretty and cute place in Seattle. They have lights everywhere on the trees and it looks pretty magical at nighttime. Also, walk a few blocks to the west and you will see some of the most spectacular sunsets!

Game park by day...interesting at night.

Very nice place. A lot of chairs and tables for use. Badminton and ping pong table also there for public. Shade from trees everywhere and few totem poles.

A real part of urban life is a public square and Occidental Park is a great place for events

Great park where you can sit in the sun while looking at people doing games like chess, ping pong or basketball. There’s a great atmosphere at the park and you can also see the Grand Central Arcade from here. There’s also a beautiful memorial for the Fallen Firefighters which reminds people of the Great Seattle Fire.

We were there this afternoon and very much enjoyed our visit. We werent there long as we were catching a show and dinner at Cafe Nordo, but we enjoyed the views and the totem poles. Theres also a memorial to Seattles fallen firefighters here. It has a unique atmosphere, a bustling cobblestone square, surrounded by tall buildings. Be aware of the people around you though, we were practically chased by a very aggressive unstable man yelling. Other than him, the other people were nice. We walked back through after dark and it was filled with a lot of sketchy people.

What I’m guessing was once I nice area to relax and hangout has turned into the main place for homeless activity. Wouldn’t want to be near the area when it gets dark.

The quaint little shops are nice and the lights in the trees at night are beautiful.

The park was clean and work was in progress to make improvements

Great place for a stroll or play corn hole before / after a Mariners game in the summer! The aesthetics of the trees are awesome, I could think of worse places to enjoy quality time outdoors!!

Enjoyed this park..people playing ping pong, chess, etc.

Nice park. Cool area. Nice statues and seating.they just added a play area for kids. Also has ping pong and other cool games and stuff.

The only thing better than Occidental Park is Occidental Park during the holidays. It is pure magic. Instead of just historic buildings, bustling Underground tours, amazing coffee and treats at Cafe Umbria, you get all of that AND dangling holiday lights and, if youre lucky, a rain drenched block of brick and cobblestones reflecting it all back at you.

This square and Pioneer Square in general is my favorite neighbourhood of Seattle. Old. Full of character. Hip. Gentrified. Upscale. Calm. Spacious. Chic restaurants, bars and coffeeshops. Lower Manhattan village vibe. Do not miss.

Great place to hang out and have lunch if you work close by. You can find at least two food trucks around lunch time on weekdays. Local artists perform live here at times.

Nice during the day - Seattle rec Dept has some fun stuff available

The Seattle Park revitalization effort has really made parks like this one amazing. They have events from wine tastings to games like outdoor giant chess and ping pong ball. The restaurants that have popped up there recently have added a collective culture of sweet smells, eye catching colorful foods, and vibrant laughs from people enjoying the park. It has been a great effort on behalf of people of Seattle.

Eclectic inner city park. Ping pong table, fussball, Jenga and connect 4.

Super quaint square that feels like a west coast Manhattan. Green but urban, nice little games and areas for recreation, and so on and so forth. Wonderful for a nice stroll.

I think the lights are killing the trees. Please check the health of the branches of the trees with lights on them. Otherwise, its a nice look. A little cleaning and maybe LEDs instead and it will be a wonderful spot.

Lots of small business to help you out

With the pandemic places like these are empty and are really enjoyable.

A nice spot to grab lunch with various park amenities. Surrounded by some historic Seattle architecture. There is often a performer on the weekdays and always quite a few people if the weather is nice. It could use some sort of covered space for eating during bad weather. As with most parks there are quite a few homeless people but they mostly keep to themselves. Overall a nice place to visit.

Lovely gathering space in Pioneer Square area. Lots of cool historic buildings. Beautiful totem poles. Close to light rail station.

Would be nice or if it werent for the virus

Nice place to take a walk, sit around, grab lunch. Food trucks come here on weekdays around lunch time. Many restaurants around the park and a few cafe as well.

Downtown is the last place I want to go! Dirty, scary people everywhere. I went there only to see Thrill the World 2019 because my Grandson was dancing in it. A light turnout because it was downtown - less people dancing in it and watching every year. Sad...

Its lit well for the season, but this is quite a shady area of town. My boyfriend and I got off at the pioneer square station from the link and walked through here because the lights were pretty... But I wouldnt recommend it. There were drunks and junkies and dirty needles. Not one of Seattles finer moments.

Old Seattle is picturesque, varied in stores, pleasant for walking and viewing. There are free buses to tourist sites nearby. Stayed at the Best Western in 105 year old building for a great weekend centered on Pioneer Place.

When the weather is nice, this is a nice place to take a stroll, grab some coffee and relax.

This place can be more dicey than a game of Yahtzee depending on when you go. There are many social services nearby which means there is an increased propotion of people experiencing mental instabilities when not diluted by tourists. That being said, its still a great place to grab lunch or a beer or some street photos.

Occidental Square Today was amazing Macklemore did a free show before the Seattle Sounders played the MLS CUP & Won 70,000 people were in Seattle , with a record crowd in the century link field. Most ever for any event there . What a sweet place to visit with your family and friends. I love this place #love

Very interesting square

We fell in love with this area. It is shady and beautiful right in the middle of Seattle. Bright colored tables and chairs, ping pong table, chess set, and other games. It just draws you in to sit and relax for awhile. Loved it, you will too!

Sounders prefunk is a great time.

Clean place and quiet!! Like it

Went to OS for HONK! FestNW with elementary school Samba band. It was a great time. Hadnt been to Occidental Square since the grunge years when wed go to catch up and coming bands like Soundgarden. Cool public art, permeant ping-pong tables, basketball courts make for a funky, fun public meeting spot.

It was a wonderful date night with the hubby

Great place to spend a nice afternoon with family..Kids friendly area. Chess games, toddle playzone,coffee shop nearby.

Occidental Square seattle wa

A much-improved and much cared for park centrally located in Pioneer Square, Seattle. This park has been programmed with fun for just about everyone. Very often theres live music with local artists. Nice to see Seattle Police walking through now and then too. Park rangers are helpful, and the parks history has been beautifully maintained.

The lack of authority figures, and city maintenance, truly showed in this area.

Quiet. To my surprise the ping pong tables had ping pong balls and paddles all ready to go.

Sounders championship the best time ever

Look forward to seeing better outings here.

Nice place to relax, listen to music, eat something. Just sit and read is good too.

Its very pretty and stunning at night with the trees decorated

Walking through here in the summer always makes me smile. This is a must see on any seattle tour. I wish I could say as much about the surrounding streets, so keep your wits.

Great little area in downtown Seattle, lots to see and do.

Square has lots of tables and public use games. It is also a hang out for homeless but my limited experience is everyone gets along. Several interesting csfes.

Good park and yeah i ball

Great walk with my boy Maui.

A nice open space. Love how there is a piano open to anyone. Listening to the sound of a strangers piano is a calming experience.

A really great little gem in downtown Seattle. Lotts of shops,bars and coffee houses. A must while in Seattle. enjoy!

It is a nice place to gather before a game or to just grab a bite to eat.

Great meetup place and wonderful spot to take out-of-towners. March to the match and artwalks

So much fun. Ping-pong tables, foose ball tables awesome place to people watch

Great place for Dancing till Dusk. A chance to mingle, learn something new and get off the couch. The park has some homeless folks, but they did not bother anyone.

Its a small dead park. Was humbled to see the firefighters memorial. However, the place seems forgotten.

During the summer there are often events during lunch time.There are doggie bags one block South (sometimes), a water fountain, games available, tables, chairs, and art!I also appreciate the trees and spaciousness!

Fascinating tour, the guide was incredibly well informed.

Gorgeous day to be outside.. one of the historical places in down. A Huge Mod Pizza will be opening soon. Big grin

Too many homeless and crack heads. Can be a dangerous place anytime day or night. But great place to go during the Seattle Art Walk in the summer. First Thursday of every month between 5 and 8 pm. Lots of booths of arts and crafts etc. Its fun to meet and talk with the artists.

Seattle is a giant $hith0le, the city allows homeless to setup tents and sell drugs on the sidewalks. Regular people doing business downtown cant use the sidewalks because of the tents.

Nice enough but too much drug and booze activity. Poorly patrolled by SPD.

This is a very interesting place. Part of the old downtown area, lots of different shops, restaurants/bar. It sits on top of old underground Seattle. Kinda sketchy at night sometimes.

Beautiful place.

Sounders rally before MLSCup win? Cmon. Five stars is barely enough!

There was lots of games and the just general atmosphere of the whole area was wonderful

People watching at its finest. Really tho, the surroundings are incredibly beautiful, ivy up the brick walls, beautiful trees, plenty of seating etc...

First neighborhood in the city. You can still see marks from the bug fire on the brick buildings. It can be a little sketchy, just be careful

Been here for sounders game. March starts at this location.

We visited this place as part of the Underground Tour for Seattle. What a lot of fun, but definitely not what I was expecting. Well have to try it again next time were in town.

This would be a more welcoming location to sit and take a breather while out shopping if there were cleaner seating and better landscaping. But I still adore the history here.

This is fun visit. No reasonable parking though and traffic can be CRAZY! You can get a ride to this location for free if you have never used Lyft before just put promo code googlemaps on this address and your first ride is free or big discount on trip there and back, something good anyway, worked for me, save much grief.

Visit during night for sone good photos

It was beautiful. Mid August. Weather conditions are great.

The heart of Pioneer Square

A good place to be part of the vibrancy of Pioneer Square with diversity...be aware as in the city...but enjoy a quick sandwich at the bakery and maybe watch passer bys shoot hoops in the basketball nets as you eat...

Occidental Square seems to be a nice little break spot in a busy industrial world. It is quite serene, and you get to see Native American inspired statues and totems, and people young, old, homeless, rich spending time in the same area reading or playing table tennis. It is completely surrounded by enormous buildings, soup kitchens, and shops, yet this little square managed to pull us out of that and enjoy ourselves for a moment.

An urban adventure i.look for ward to duplicating, people are amazing in seattle!

This place is like a movie set. Neat place just to walk by and take pictures. There are many restaurants and stores to shop at around the area.

A wide array of people to watch and lots of places to eat. A great spit to see while here.

It has great games to buy some time like gaint size chess pieces to battle and war with, basketball goal to play a game of horse, people entertaining with different instruments.

He used to be the spot to be in for nightclubs now its kind of a decent historic spot but the changes to the city you can definitely see in the Parks in the City. I always say you want to know how a city is truly you have to go to their parks that tells you everything.

Unlike any other part of Seattle.

A cool little place Reminded me of the downtown Area in Winchester Va. Loved the activities you could do.

The heart of the city.

Felt a bit uncomfortable with all the homeless, looks like it has potential. Reminds me of the plazas in Argentina. Cute but also not cute. Helpful information kiosk.

A must see when in the area. Beautiful architecture.

Lovely place to play some games and enjoy a drink or two

Come for the beautiful park, stay because you have nowhere else to go.

Years of mishandled world

Great space, and enjoyed having big screen outdoors for watching World Cup competition, but didnt enjoy the altercation between two street people fighting over front row seats. Situation normal, sad to say.

Very nice not too expensive ,beautiful scenery
