Our History ...
In 2006, the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department renamed the nearly 2.5-acre neighborhood park located in
Seattle's Central District, Jimi Hendrix Park, with the goal of turning it into a community gathering
space honoring this Seattle-born artist's extraordinary life and musical legacy. The Park lies adjacent
to the old Colman School, which since 2008 has housed Seattle's Northwest African American Museum.
Now, a dedicated group of Seattle residents has come together to turn the dream of a park inspired
by a "West Coast Seattle Boy" (the artist's own description) into reality. Named the Friends of
Jimi Hendrix Park (FOJHP), the group has met for over a year, laying the groundwork for the
development of a space that will draw visitors from across the globe. In keeping with the spirit
of unity underlying the project as a whole, the Friends are committed to seeking community input
into every aspect of the Park, from fundraising to design to programming. At the core of this
project is the belief - embodied best by Jimi Hendrix himself - that with talent, determination
and passion, anything is possible.
