What an awesome park and asset for the Lacrosse community. Its a beautifully well maintained park that is an attraction and has to be an anchor for the community to enjoy the Mississippi River. We loved it.

A fantastic public park for families to enjoy. This park is well maintained with many beautiful statues and flowers and gives a fantastic view of the famous La Crosse bridges and Mississippi River. There are occasionally events in the park as well. A must see for people visiting La Crosse and great for a family picnic!

Its so nice to come here and go for a walk. I usually bring my pup and she always likes to see all the other people and pups. Its nice to see the water and the garden is really pretty even still after walking through it a hundred times. Its the perfect place to come on a day out, you can get so many nice photos too!

Very nice place. Used to live in LaCrosse and came back for a visit. Sad the Indian was taken down. At one time it was full of history. Should have been restored and left there. Sad to see so many people falling for all this cancel culture and how people today are so easily offended and want everybody to change to accommodate them rather than you ignore what you dont like. Its like moving from California or New York because you dont like the policies or high taxes then go to your new spot and vote for the same type of people.

Very nice park, visiting from Henderson, Nevada going towards Chicago. There was plenty of ducks and boats in the water. We sat by a tree for shade to read awhile and have a snack, it was very peaceful and relaxing after a long drive.

Nice park along the Mississippi. Lots of benches to sit. New band shell for performances once they are allowed again. There was a nice statue in the park but it offended someone so it was removed.

Aside from the safety issues occasionally arising from downtown, this place has always been a favorite of mine. From taking prom photos here, to feeding ducks in the summer and into winter with the rotary lights and then the polar plunge! Recently took my 2yr old here to enjoy the lights and he had an absolute blast walking the park and dancing to the holiday music playing!

Beautiful views. Quiet spots if you just want to relax alone. Some ducks on the far right end of the park away from the big bridge. Perfect place to go to watch the sunset.

I was here with my family (kids 3 and 5) and it was great! The ice was in good condition and the scenery is obviously outstanding. Free skate rental and hot chocolate, so I was happy to donate as all proceeds go to the rotary lights. The two gentleman working there were very friendly and helpful.

I love this park. So beautiful right in the Mississippi River. Usually during 4th of July they have Riverfest with fireworks. In the winter there is the Rotary lights that are amazing to walk/drive through as well as viewing the lights across the river. A great place to take photos year round!

Riverside Park in La Crosse is located in a beautiful spot. It is unfortunate that there is a big part of the park that is under construction. The fountain has been removed, and is fenced off. The band shell is all dug up and also fenced off. The park would also benefit from another set of bathrooms on the other end.

This is always a neat place to relax. You can either take a stroll next to the mighty Mississippi or sit on one of the many benches and watch her and the birds and animals that love her. You can also relax under one of the many trees and green grass. Bring a yard game and make memories with your friends. There is also a fountain, the La Crosse Queen and more! In the winter check out the rotary lights that light up this side of the Mississippi. Fun for all ages!!

Beautiful scenic Park on the Mississippi River, ideal for relaxing, biking, sightseeing, live music concerts, and photo ops. Dont miss the gorgeous Friendship Garden on the north side of the park. And there are hiking and biking trails just to the north of that.

Review №45

Always a great time to be had at Riverside Park. One of the many reasons why I love this park is its name. No one has has their name on it. Its not honoring anyone. Its not named after a cause. Its just simply Riverside Park because its by the side of the river. How refreshing is that?!?!?

Nice stretch of river for a quiet walk. Park is big enough for a fairly large amount of people to be there without feeling too crowded. a bunch of water fountains and two interesting statues.A short walk from excellent ice cream [The Pearl] and a number of hotels. Decent amounts of parking nearby.

This is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Wisconsin. You can enjoy a walk through the park or sit on a bench near the Mighty Mississippi River and maybe watch a barge go up or down stream. A favorite is to watch the sun set on the river. You can also enjoy a ride on the paddle boat The La Crosse Queen. There is also a museum here and a beautiful garden to walk through. Its all worth a thousand pictures.
