Sonny Bono Memorial Park is a park in Northwest Washington D.C. at the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue 20th Street and O Street near Dupont Circle. It is named for Sonny Bono. The park was established in 1998 after Sonny Bono’s death by Bono family friend Geary Simon a local real estate developer. He approached the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation’s Park Partners program and paid $25000 of his own money to revitalize an unused 800-square-foot (74 m2) triangle of grass.
