The Mežaparks (translated forest park, in German: Kaiserwald) is a huge local recreation area in the north of Riga. Here you will find the zoo, the huge open-air stage and, to the east of the park, a lake with bathing facilities.

Beyond the Horizon

October 30, 2024

Mežaparks, one of Riga's oldest garden city districts, is a sprawling and diverse park on the shores of Lake Ķīšezers. Originally known as the Emperor's Park, the area became an exclusive residential area in the early 20th century for Riga's wealthier society seeking to escape the city's noise. Today, the well-preserved Art Nouveau villas still exude this nostalgic charm and are among the city's most sought-after properties.

The park offers much more than just architecture. For nature lovers, Mežaparks is a paradise: miles of walking paths, quiet forest trails and the opportunity to practice water sports on Lake Ķīšezers. The impressive amphitheater, designed for the famous Latvian Song Festival, exudes the special energy of this place. The surrounding recreational facilities, such as playgrounds, cafes and bicycle rental, make the park particularly diverse. In addition to the zoo, there are also hidden corners that invite you to explore, and the famous "Mežakaķis" climbing park provides variety.

Mežaparks is a place that invites you to linger and explore, not only because of its history, but also because of its lively and at the same time relaxing atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors. A visit is particularly worthwhile for a leisurely day trip or active recreation in the countryside.
