Riverside International Friendship Gardens

Our Vision

The Riverside International Friendship Gardens will be a place of beauty reflecting our appreciation for the diverse cultures that share the earth.

What are Friendship Gardens?

La Crosse enjoys thriving relationships with sister cities, business partners, students and people from around the world. To celebrate the success of these partnerships, and build a tribute to the culture and traditions of our worldwide friends, local people are working together to create the Riverside International Friendship Gardens in Riverside Park along the banks of the beautiful Mississippi River 

The first gardens to be planted will represent the style of a typical garden in each sister city. La Crosse's current sister cities are:

  • Epinal, France
  • Dubna, Russia
  • Luoyang, China
  • Friedberg, Germany
Using the Gardens for Special Events

For information regarding fees and permits for use of the Gardens, please contact the La Crosse Park & Rec Department at (608) 789-7533.
