The Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden is located on the west side of Grant Park in Portland Oregon.
There are three bronze statues grouped around a play fountain.
The statues represent three characters from children's author Beverly Cleary's books: Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Henry's dog Ribsy.
Portland artist Lee Hunt created the statues.
The sculpture garden was dedicated on October 13, 1995.
Cleary grew up in the neighborhood and played in Grant Park as a child, and many of the events in her books take place in the park and on neighboring streets.
Children all over the United States held penny drives to raise money, and contributions came from every state as well as several Canadian provinces.
The sculpture garden is one of the few memorials in the United States dedicated to a children's author.
