Seattle and the World Celebrate!
The opening of the Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle WA was celebrated on June 17, 2017. The park took years to create and required donations from large organizations as well as small donations from Jimi fans all over the world.
Jimi Hendrix Park is situated in the heart of Seattle’s vibrant Central District (2400 South Massachusetts Street), a multi-cultural community rich in heritage. A primary focal point for multi-cultural events, gatherings, and activities for the community, Jimi Hendrix Park is nestled adjacent to the Northwest African American Museum and the grounds of the former Colman School.
The designers of the park, Murase Associates, specifically incorporated ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance standards. The garden features gentle slopes, wide, graceful pathways, and barrier-free access from the parking lot. Designed to commemorate the hometown of our own “West coast Seattle Boy”, the design is inspired by guitars and his music.
