May 2, 2015, 8 years ago
According to The Associated Press, construction has begun on a long-planned park dedicated to native son and guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, with phase one projected to open this fall.
The The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation states: At nearly 2.5 acres in size, Jimi Hendrix Park will be awash in vibrant colors of the Pacific Northwest and will include ample green space for everyone to enjoy. Featuring an array of new improvements that reflect themes found in his music, Jimi Hendrix Park may include lyrical stepping stones, rain drums, a sculpted butterfly garden and/or many other features. These artistic representations serve as a beacon to youth, summoning them to unlock their imagination and encourage them to pursue their dreams.
Jimi Hendrix Park is located at 2400 S. Massachusetts Street in Seattle, WA (98144) in Seattle's culturally diverse Central District. Current site layout (as of October 2013) is shown below.
