Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here!
The Troll’s Knoll is a unique space surrounding Seattle’s iconic Fremont Troll, including a Seattle P-Patch and 2 acres of beautiful urban forest that are integrated into the local neighborhood. For years, neighbors have grown edible and flowering gardens in the P-Patch, walked with their dogs and children to the peekaboo view of downtown, and passed through on a daily basis on their way to the bus stations which unlock the rest of the city.
Each year thousands of Seattle neighbors and travelers visit the Fremont Troll to take photos with this larger-than-life sculpture, and get a glimpse into Fremont’s rich tradition of artistic expression.
Friends of the Troll’s Knoll is a community of neighbors dedicated to transforming the Troll Knoll into an active green space where Fremont residents and visitors can enjoy the outdoors. Through ongoing clean-up initiatives, park development, and art installations, we are working to transform the east side Troll’s Knoll into a Seattle park.
Park Project Goals
(1) Built design would qualify the space as an activated park by Seattle Parks Department that meets all code and ADA criteria.
(2) The space will activate the community and will draw tourists and residents to utilize the area more fully.
(3) The proposal will feature design elements that reduce the impacts of Aurora 99 including lowering noise pollution and improving the local air quality.
(4) Design contains environmentally beneficial features that promote the health of our urban forest and improves water quality for salmon. Features promote sustainable stormwater mitigation strategies and create habitat for native species.
(5) Design contains features to improve the cleanliness of and drainage of the space directly surrounding the Fremont Troll.
