Sonny Bono Memorial Park
Washington, D.C., United States · built 1998
Sonny Bono Memorial Park is a public park in Washington, D.C., United States. Located at the intersection of 20th Street NW, New Hampshire Avenue NW, and O Street NW, near Dupont Circle, it is named for entertainer and politician Sonny Bono. The park was established later that year by Bono family friend, Geary Simon, a local real estate developer. He approached the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation's Adopt-a-Park program and paid over $25,000 of his own money to revitalize an unused 800-square-foot (74 m2) triangle of grass on a traffic island. His improvements to the park included plumbing, landscaping, and installing new furniture.
