UPS Waterfall Garden Park

The UPS Waterfall Garden Park is an oasis in Seattle's Pioneer Square district. 

The beautiful UPS Waterfall Garden Park was constructed in Pioneer Square in 1977, at the site of the original United Parcel Headquarters. UPS is the largest parcel company in the world, and was started right here in 1907.

Its the perfect tranquil retreat for office workers or tourists, tucked away on a street corner in Pioneer Square.

It's roughly 1-mile south of downtown Seattle, located at 219 2nd Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104.
