Our Mission
Mini Mart City Park is a place for the arts, education, environmental action, and community collaboration in the Duwamish Valley.
Our Vision
After more than 15 years of planning, environmental work, and construction, MMCP transformed a neighborhood brownfield and former gas station, in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, into a cultural center and pocket park that officially opened to the public in 2022.
Our work is rooted in the belief that it is vital to create community hubs for people to build power and a voice in decisions being made to develop their neighborhoods. Today, MMCP serves as an artist-designed, community-led space advocating for creativity and public health through art exhibits, residencies, education, environmental action, and locally-focused programming in the Lower Duwamish Valley, now and for decades to come.
Our Goals
01. Clean
Installing state-of-the-art remediation technology in a small neighborhood brownfield will clean the earth under the site.
02. Build
A structure where people come together to strengthen their community ties.
03. Educate
A place to learn about art, architecture & healthy urban environments.
04. Art
A permanent cultural center for Georgetown and the greater Duwamish Valley.
