River Walk & International Gardens Tour | Riverside Park
 
Enjoy the beauty of the Riverside International Friendship Gardens. This collection of public gardens celebrates La Crosse’s sister-city relationships with communities in China, Germany, France, Russia, Norway and Ireland. Located next to the La Crosse Convention and Visitors Bureau at Riverside Park, it’s a short walk from the La Crosse Center through Riverside Park.
 
In celebration of 100 years of Rotary in our region, area Rotary clubs are partnering with the International Friendship Gardens, the La Crosse Friends of Cameroon, the City of La Crosse, and others to develop a garden in honor of the Sister City relationship between La Crosse and Kumbo, Cameroon. The effort is called “Growing Hearts across the World.”  Nearing completion, the garden is located adjacent to the International Friendship Gardens.

Scavenger hunt maps of the Riverside International Friendship Garden can be downloaded and printed. They are popular with children. All items can be seen from garden pathways. We ask all visitors to stay on paths. Have fun!

The Rotary Store - Rotary Supplies & Gift Ideas (Board Room-Second Level)
 
If you are looking for a gift for the special Rotarian in your life, you are in the right place! We have created a great selection of Rotary gift items, many of which can be personalized. Many Clubs give their members a small gift on their "Rotary Anniversary". Almost all Clubs give their Guest Speaker a small token of appreciation for sharing their time and expertise. And at the end of the Rotary year, most Club Presidents present their Board members with a small gift to show their appreciation. No matter what type of Rotary gift you are looking for, we're sure you'll find the perfect item right here.
