The Washington State Capitol grounds were landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers with planting that began in 1931. The grounds feature over 100 landscaped acres with many memorials, including a replica of one of the fountains in the famous Tivoli Park in Copenhagen, Denmark.
A part of the original 1911 plan for the State Capitol has recently begun. The plan is for a contemporary interpretation of a parkway. It includes a terraced walkway, from the north side of the Temple of Justice to Capitol Lake Park, a landscaped promenade along the lake, a park area and trees that open a view toward Puget Sound.
