Vērmanes Garden, Public park in Central District, Latvia

Vērmanes Garden extends across 5 hectares of land in central Riga, featuring numerous walking paths, wooden benches, and seasonal flower displays throughout the grounds.

The park originated in 1817 through donations from Anna Gertrud Vērmane, becoming the second oldest public recreation space in Riga, Latvia's capital city.

The open-air stage on Elizabetes Street serves as a central location for concerts, chess tournaments, and dance performances throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Visitors can access the park from four surrounding streets: Tērbatas, Elizabetes, Krišjāņa Barona, and Merķeļa, with multiple entry points along each boundary.

The park contains a granite obelisk memorial, recreated in 2000, replacing the original 1829 monument that was removed during World War II.
