Miera dārzs

Miera dārzs extends across 3.6 hectares between Kalupes, Daugavpils, Katoļu, and Jēkabpils streets, featuring exercise equipment and children's play areas.

The garden emerged in 1908 on the grounds of a former cemetery that served Riga residents from 1773 to 1872, with initial designs by G. Kufalts.

The park includes a decorative vase called 'Memento mori' created by sculptor Rihards Maurs in 1927 to commemorate the former cemetery.

The Children's and Youth Center 'Daugmale' coordinates regular activities and events within the park space throughout the year.

The park received substantial renovations in 2008, including a new children's playground that cost 35,000 Latvian Lats to construct.
