Cleveland Cultural Gardens showcase more than 30 individual botanical gardens that are intended to represent the city's diverse ethnic populations. The gardens are located within a 50-acre portion of the city's Rockefeller Park, originally developed as a Shakespeare Garden in 1916 before being converted into ethnic-focused gardens in 1926 following a suggestion by Jewish Independent editor Leo Weidenthal. Today, the gardens honor the city's African-American and indigenous populations, along with country-specific gardens for the city's European, Asian, and Middle Eastern immigrant communities, recognizing the contributions of each group to the city's cultural and civic fabric. The gardens are free and open to the public, with a free parking lane available alongside the gardens' main strip.
