Jimi Hendrix Park, Urban park in Central District, Seattle, United States
Jimi Hendrix Park is a green space in Seattle's Central District that spans about 2.3 acres and features curved pathways, open gathering areas, and a central performance canopy. Metal art installations and landscaped gardens shape the overall character of the grounds.
The site was acquired by Seattle Parks Department in 1948 as a school playground and later transformed into a dedicated park space. This redesign in 2006 connected the public space with a tribute to the famous local musician.
The park incorporates design elements reflecting Jimi Hendrix's music, including a wall featuring his engraved portrait at its center. Visitors encounter these musical references while moving through the different sections of the grounds.
The park sits adjacent to the Northwest African American Museum and features multiple entrances with accessible pathways throughout. Open areas accommodate various activities, from quiet sitting to community gatherings.
Metal art installations wind through the park with pathways that subtly echo guitar shapes, connecting different sections of the grounds. These musical references are woven into how you move through the space.
