Mežaparks, Urban forest in Mezaparks district, Riga, Latvia

The park spans across 375 hectares of forested land featuring walking trails, cycling paths, and recreational areas along Lake Kisezers.

The area initially served as a garden city in 1901, then transformed into a concentration camp during World War II, and became a public park in 1949.

The Grand Stage within the park holds the Latvian Song Festival every four years, gathering thousands of performers for traditional choir performances.

The park maintains dedicated zones for various activities including disc golf courses, adventure rope courses, skiing slopes, and children's playgrounds.

The park contains the Latvian Museum of Literature and Music, which presents exhibitions about the national Song Celebration traditions.
