Creating An Experience!

<p><strong>Our Vision</strong></p> <p>To create a community gathering space inspired by the electrifying music and story of Jimi Hendrix that celebrates cultural heritage, innovative programming and community pride.</p> <p><strong>About the Friends of Jimi Hendrix Park</strong></p> <p>In 2006, the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department named 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&nbsp;has come together to turn the dream of a park inspired by&nbsp;its namesake&nbsp;into reality.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Friends of Jimi Hendrix Park&nbsp;have met for over two years, 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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
