Jaunatnes garden, Public park in Āgenskalns, Latvia.
Jaunatnes garden is a public park in the Āgenskalns district featuring multiple levels connected by stairs and pathways. The lower section includes play equipment for children, while the upper area offers tree-shaded spaces with benches.
The land served as a private garden with residential buildings belonging to the Augsburg family until the 1930s. After World War II, local authorities converted it into a public children's park.
This space transformed from a private family garden into a public meeting place for the neighborhood. Visitors can see how the layout reflects its evolution from residential grounds to a place designed for community gathering.
The park can be entered from several surrounding streets, and staircases connect the raised and lower sections throughout the space. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the paths are sloped and may become slippery during wet weather.
The park was long known informally as 'Lermontov Park' because of its location next to the former Lermontov Street. Older residents still occasionally refer to it by this unofficial name, though it has largely faded from common use.
