Friendship Park is a landscaped riverside park in central Addis Ababa, opened in 2020 as part of a wider scheme to green and revive the capital's core. Laid out along a restored stretch of river, it features fountains, terraces, lawns, cafés and evening illuminations near the national palace and government buildings. Designed as a showcase of urban renewal, it offers residents a modern recreational promenade in the heart of the city. Its landscaped water features and lighting have made it a popular spot for evening strolls and family outings.
