Kronvalda parks

Kronvalda Park stretches over 11.92 hectares, with the Riga City Canal flowing through its grounds, dividing the space into two distinct sections.

The German Riflemen Society established their training grounds here in 1863 after the city walls were dismantled, marking the beginning of the park's development.

The park received its name in recognition of Atis Kronvalds, a prominent figure of the Young Latvians Movement during the national awakening period.

Visitors can access boat rentals, roller skating tracks, a playground, and an underground parking facility while exploring the park's extensive network of paths.

The park maintains 104 foreign tree and bush species, including Latvia's largest willow tree and Riga's most substantial cork tree specimens.
