Enjoy The Summer Sun At Seattle's JIMI HENDRIX Park

July 18, 2008

Originally unveiled to the public during a ceremony on June 28, 2006, Jimi Hendrix Park, located at 2300 S. Massachusetts Street in Seattle, Washington received its latest addition recently with the placement of the official City of Seattle Park sign at the park's entrance.

Jimi Hendrix Park is also located adjacent to the Northwest African American Museum (previously home to Colman School) in Seattle's Central District; the area played home to a young Jimmy Hendrix while he grew up. Together, these new installations make up part of the Urban League Village, which was unveiled in 2005. Visitors to Jimi Hendrix Park are also encouraged to experience the Northwest African American Museum which present exhibits and programs that feature historic and contemporary narratives that include the visual arts, crafts, music, literary and culinary culture of African Americans in the Northwest as it has developed from the 1840s to the present. Several exhibit pieces commemorating Jimi Hendrix's legacy and lasting influence in the Pacific Northwest are on display in the museum. Future plans for Jimi Hendrix Park include the addition of a life-sized bronzed statue; which is the result of the gracious donation of Michael Malone of AEI Music (now part of DMX). Mr. Malone has agreed to relocate the landmark statue from where it has been admired by fans for more than a decade, outside of his business at 900 East Pine Street.
