The Cleveland Cultural Gardens are one of Northeast Ohio’s oldest and most beautiful treasures. There are 38 developed gardens, designed and cultivated by distinct cultural or nationality groups, along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and East Boulevard in parkland between University Circle and I-90 along the Lake Erie shoreline. The gardens feature tributes to the poets, philosophers, peacemakers, composers and scientists who have contributed to world culture. There are 13 new gardens in development, and in 2025 the City of Cleveland improved access to this landmark by adding 14 parking spaces on St. Casimir Way, across from the Centennial Peace Plaza.

The nonprofit Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation invites you to explore the gardens, attend an event, and support our vision of peace through mutual understanding. The Federation promotes and preserves the Gardens, acts as a liaison between partner organizations and the City of Cleveland, and hosts programs such as the annual One World Day.
