Martin Luther King Jr. Civil Rights Memorial Park (also known as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park[1] and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Park)[2] is a 4.5-acre public park in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.[3][4] The park features Robert Kelly's 30-foot-tall sculpture inspired by King's "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, which was gifted to the city by the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Committee in 1991.[5] Surrounding the artwork are hills offering views of Rainier Valley.[6] "Civil Rights" was added to the park's name in 2018.[7]
