Friendship Park, also known as Parque de la Amistad, is a small park straddling the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego and Tijuana. It was established in 1971 as a place where people from both countries could interact. Today, visitors can approach the border fence and speak with loved ones or strangers on the other side through the mesh. The park features a small plaza, gardens, and a sense of shared humanity. It's a poignant reminder of the border's impact on families and communities.
