    A very unique park along the Ohio river. Lots of interesting structures and plants along the way so make sure to stop at each of them! The park runs alongside the river so you will be able to see it at all times. Come here after dark to be treated to a beautiful lit up skyline.

    My husband and I were going to picnic at a park down the street from here, but thanks to a swarm of sports fans attending Bengals Training Camp, we couldn't go to that park and had to find another. The International Friendship Park was a few minutes away, and it was our first visit. Part of the parking lot is cut off, but there was enough parking, and that's considering that it was a Saturday afternoon and there were multiple joggers, dog walkers, cyclists, and a wedding party taking photos. Other than crisscrossing pathways, there are benches, trash cans, and a few odd structures to see. We picnicked close to the Castle of Air, which is the mirrored structure in the photos attached to this review. The park seems to be themed around various parts of the world, but it wasn't entirely clear why or what was unique about each section. I should mention that the far left (if you're facing the river) part of the park seems unfinished. It's mostly unwieldy grass surrounding a worn pathway, and upon walking through it to the other side, we discovered a shaded area with a building that was reserved for some event. So the park does feel unfinished and a little exclusionary. Overall, this was a decent park that provided my husband some opportunities for photography, but its theming isn't clear and it does seem to be grasping to find its own identity. Still, not a bad way to spend an hour or two if you love parks with paved places to walk or play.

    I love this park! I love the sign with the multiple languages on it. There's a nice trail right on the Ohio River and a little garden just east of the parking lot.

    *SERENE WITH A RIVERSIDE VIEW* I love walking and biking in this park because it's so peaceful with such awe-inspiring views! You couldn't ask for much more in the way of making your Day OR Night MEMORABLE! It hits all of the Major Checkpoints on the way to SPECTACULAR for an all-around satisfying experience! 😊👍 #HighlyRecommend

    This city park is excellent for walking/biking. It's a popular spot, located next to Montgomery INN boathouse. I would most definitely recommend this location for your next walk, picnic, or exploration into a urban adventure! 10/10

    One of the best places in town to go for a jog or walk your dog. The vegetation is beautiful and very diverse, hence the name of the park. It takes you all over the world!

    Free public parking. Access to this park and to all of the Cincinnati riverfront parks from this park. Long and paved paths for walking, running, or biking. Very family-friendly & pet-friendly park. The park goes right along the Ohio River with numerous views of the Ohio River. Montgomery Inn Boathouse (restaurant) is nearby.

    This is very pretty for photo opportunities with all the flowers around the world and art instillations. Plus free parking! Got the scooters while there to ride up town which was added fun.

    Great park with views of the river, and ball stadiums, wish they had a Porta pot or restroom available at the trail head.

  • 5/5 Alieson P. 10 months ago on Google
    Such a cool place. I wish the bike path attached to the rest a little safer. The park itself was beautiful and unique. The gardens were well cared for and gorgeous. The path was safe and family friendly.

  • 5/5 Les D. 1 year ago on Google
    Small park & parking area. Nice river view and easy access to river walking path in either direction. Good variety of plants from around the world. Wish there were a few more labels on plants/trees.

    Attended the Hydrocephalus Association's WALK here October 1st. Very nice park woth plenty of space to walk along the river. Daughter wanted to do the entire walk again as the path separates then intersects again multiple times
