Bergen Place is a small, triangle-shaped public park in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, in the U.S. stateofWashington. Named after Bergen, Norway (one of Seattle's sister cities), the square is lined with benches and trees and features sculptures.[1][2]

The park was inaugurated by King Olaf V in 1975.[3][4] It was redesigned in 2004.[5] The park has also displayed a large menorah to commemorate Hanukkah.[6]

A 1995 mural, created with support from the Ballard Historical Society, was vandalized in 2009.[7]
