Sonny Bono Memorial Park, Urban park at New Hampshire Avenue intersection, Washington D.C., United States.
The 800-square-foot park features Kentucky bluegrass, shrubbery, benches, lights, and a black wrought-iron fence surrounding the triangular space.
Real estate developer Geary Simon established the park in 1998 by transforming an unused traffic island, investing over 25,000 dollars in improvements.
A commemorative plaque and vault at the entrance contain memorabilia including sheet music for The Beat Goes On and Congressional cufflinks.
The park sits at the intersection of 20th Street NW, New Hampshire Avenue NW, and O Street NW, near Dupont Circle metro station.
The small triangular park includes a tree transplanted from Sonny Bono's California congressional district as a connection to his political career.
