City Breaks Ground on Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park Restoration

In early 2022, a required emergency water main repair resulted in substantial disruption to Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park, leaving major portions of the grounds in a state of disrepair, including 2 of the 5 “gardens of the continents” features. In addition to providing a place for recreation and reflection, Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park is a living celebration of international goodwill. The 17-acre park, dedicated in 2003 and named for Cincinnati’s first African American Mayor, sits on the eastern end of Cincinnati’s Riverfront.
 
This project will restore the park to its original state and is a joint venture between the City of Cincinati, the Cincinnati Park Board and Greater Cincinnati Water Works. Work is expected to be finished end of spring of 2025.
