Need an answer possible from Canadian for wife's friend

[Jawaree 717]

This couple is waiting on a pending petition. guy is Canadian & travel

VWP any times , he has his own biz in Orleans CAn...Wife USC visit

sometimes, however they are wanting to meet up Memorial day weekend.

Prob is he had overstayed the last time here, so he has to wait on process

now going thru USCIS

she had a fender bender not too long ago and was coming from a party...of

course she got a Dui...a no no to step over the bridge.

Now does anyone knows where and how to get to the Friendship park on

the Canadian border? they want to stay in Niagra and meet there everyday

for the wkend. They will book hotels close to the park on both sides.

they should have a favorable answer by NOv but in the meantime they want to

do this ...the wife sees the wkend as an adventure...I know the park exists

and is more friendly than how they have turned the one on the Mexican

border almost like a jail to go in.

How would she get there by driving, whats the location (to help book a hotel)

anyone been there ,are the bars still wide enough for a kiss (Mexico now has

like a mesh) and if you know the correct name of the park and hrs...Thank you

I only need answers on the park as their immigration situation is taken care of,

so no advice needed on that.

Google will tell you exactly where the friendship park is.

I tried to google it and can't find one on the Canadian border, at least not with that name. Hope fully someone from that area will know.

Asking a website about a park and not a visa when the website is for visas and not a tourist guide won't get you many answers.

I found this

http://www.friendshippark.org/index.html

And further research suggests that you can access it from Border Field state park.

All my looking suggests that it's us/mexico.

Not sure about Canada.

first time I've ever heard of this so I've done my best. Hope someone can help you further.

Could you be talking about THIS park? International Peace Park

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

No, that can't be it. Too far west. There are no transboundary parks I can find in the Ontario region at all. I've been looking and it looks like Niagara does NOT have a transboundary park at all.

[Ontarkie 14,218]

It's a nice thought but they may be out of luck.

[Ontarkie 14,218]

How long was the overstay?

And how long has he been back in Canada?

Maybe they were thinking of the bridge.....

They also may be thinking of goat island but that is strictly on the US side.

Thank you Not a tailor & Boiler

I knew about this park but always thought it was closer to NY area, its

out tere in Blaine, I did find out B4 returning to the forum, he wants to

and she wants to also, they are checking out hotels in both areas (sides)

she will fly out there.

They can afford to, no kids yet and see it as an exciting mini vacation,also

he will be finished before the yr is over...Thanks everyone. It does

seem a lot nicer than Friendship park
