Africa Park, Public park along Menelik II Avenue in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The green space extends from Menelik Palace to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, featuring multiple walking paths and ponds throughout the grounds.

Founded in 1963 to mark the establishment of the Organization of African Unity, the park underwent a complete redesign by Show Engineering Workshop in 1999.

Trees within the park display labels with names and flags of African heads of state who planted them during the 1963 inauguration ceremony.

The central location on Menelik II Avenue makes the park easily accessible for visitors seeking outdoor recreation in the Ethiopian capital.

Indigenous plants from various African regions grow throughout the park, representing the natural diversity of the continent.
