This giant metal squirrel is a cute eye-catcher at a crossroads in Mežapark. Next to it there is a place where you can eat fresh Chebureki.

The Mezaparks squirrel is a surprising highlight that will instantly bring a smile to your face. This huge, charming sculpture, with its delicate metal structure, is an unusual yet fitting sight in the heart of the park. It almost seems as if this oversized squirrel is watching over the park - a humorous and creative greeting to nature and the visitors who take a break here.

Historically, Mezapark is one of Riga's oldest and largest city parks and offers an oasis of pine forests and well-kept paths. The creative placement of this artwork arouses curiosity and adds a playful touch to the park. The squirrel is a reminder that this park is not only a place to breathe and walk, but also a place where art and nature go hand in hand.

Mezapark itself is worth recommending - ideal for a relaxed walk or bike ride and always enlivened by such details as the squirrel.
