I have visited the Friendship Park yesterday for the first time as a diaspora. I was simply speechless by the beauty of this place. Its beautifuly designed landscape in a great location in the centre of addis. As soon as you walk in to the park, you'll feel like you are somewhere in developed country. I am facinated by the variety of plants, great walking paths, connection to the Sheraton Addis and natural river, etc. Well done to all involved in this project and great respect to our PM for his initiative. Some comments for mprovements: Public access to the park should be maintained for longer hours, at the moment no acces to the park after 2 pm local time. Restaurants and bars inside the park should be able to operate at night to attract more people to the park.

This rating is based on today's experience (Oct 14th) at the park specifically about the security personnel that search cars and people. The security lady was very inexperienced and messed up my belongings in my purse as if she is looking for a needle. She even opened my wallet and didn't know what USB drives and headphones were. She said these can't be allowed. We had to explain every belonging with us, laptop, charger, lotion, etc. It was a horrible experience. Plus, they were not wearing any uniform whatsoever. They have no IDs or names explaining they are personnel of security. They were very rude. It felt like a burglar is messing up my belongings. I am very much disappointed with this utterly ridiculous customer service. They have to fix this.

Friendship Park is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. The name truly encapsulates the essence of this place, as it's a haven for creating and nurturing beautiful friendships. The serene ambiance, well-maintained trails, and lush greenery make it a perfect spot for relaxation and quality time with friends. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll, having a picnic, or simply enjoying the scenery, this park never disappoints. The positive vibes and welcoming atmosphere make it an excellent place to connect with old friends and forge new connections. A true testament to the power of togetherness and the beauty of nature

Friendship Park, ወንድማማቾች ፓርክ, Sheger Park The park is a piece of paradise full of astounding greenery, flowers and plants. It was costumed to take the shape of typical untouched African Jungles. It has a beautiful scenery all around. The Friendship Park is located at the CENTER of Addis Ababa. The Park is at the heart of the city and surrounded by the Grand Palace, The Finfine Springs, Sheraton Addis, Black Lion Hospital, The Post Office, The Meskel square, and many more historical sites and commercial centers. The Park was established in 2019 following an initiative by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

We were so surprised to discover this park in the middle of Addis Ababa. It is stunningly beautiful and well maintained. There are different entrance fees depending on your activities. It is a wonderful place to take wedding photos but you will have to pay the 10,000 Birr fee if you are booking your photoshoot. Professional cameras and any type of refreshments are not permitted in the park but you can bring your own cellphone. There is a lovely restaurant where you can get fresh baked pizza and coffee. An outing to the park is good for the soul.

Friendship Park and overall it was a nice experience. It's a great place to work out, bring your kids, parents and grandparents to relax and have fun. The park is also great for taking pictures including weddings, and it's open till 10PM which is great. The only downside was that the entrance fee was incredibly expensive and the hospitality services were really poor. The food was really bad and overpriced. Overall I would recommend this park if you're looking for some place to hang out in the evening, but be ready to pay for it.

A must visit park in Addis! It is an amazing park nicely located at the center of Addis Ababa. It is also located near key landmarks -- the National Palace on one side and Sharaton Hotel on the other. Its close proximity with Unity Park makes planning to visit the two places very convenient. Entrance fee is 110 ETB for adults, and children under 12 years pay half. If you plan to take camera with you, it costs 1000 ETB per person (not per camera!) -- that is why I reduced one star.

We enjoy going to Friendship Park. We go regularly for walking, even if it is busy it does not feel crowded. We've also eaten at the Grand Restaurant a number of times for lunch and the food is quite good. There is an entry fee of 110ETB per person and security at the entrance. The children's playground is quite nice, and on Saturdays, they have an iceblock stand that sells fruit iceblocks, which are very nice.

Gorgeous park, very clean and green. You can grab a cup of coffee with. But THE ENTRANCE FEE!!! It is so sad to see parks where you have to pay in order to enjoy the beauty of park. Not many places in Addis that gives you an opportunity to enjoy clean park roads. It is unfair in relation to the locals. What if I want to come every day for a morning walk? Should I pay 100 Birr for each my entering?

On three colored tracks with your chosen distance, you can run in the morning by Fish-filled artificial lake, garden path, anddancing water at night. ideal setting for both adults and children. Due to weddings and other events, it is becoming increasingly difficult to reach it on weekends. I'm not sure if it was the park's primary objective.

The location is perfect. The park is so refreshing. Entrance fee is fair. It would be better if some more cafes and restaurants begin working there. The admins must plan package fee for regular running and jogging people. Would also be better if there is a clothing and showering rooms after workouts.

Friendship Park is the best place to take your family and friends. You can go to breathe fresh air, go for a walk, or just sit in the cool shade under a tree. The park is surrounded by many trees which make it an amazing place to relax and calm down after a long day at work.

Beautiful city park with music fountain backing up the performance stage which can be used for theatrical events. Different pavilions and great view points. Finding tranquility in the city. Ticket costs 100 ETB can be cheaper tho for those going for restaurants.

Great place to soak in the outdoor and take in the view of Addis. Whether you are interested in a slow stroll or a brisk walk, this is the place to be. It's also family friendly. You can wrap your day with a nice coffee or juice, whichever tickles your fancy.
