A 200-year-old pine-tree growth and bilberry bush (protected biotops) are the greatest treasures
of Dzintari forest park which has a total area of 13 hectars.
The newly created infrastructure regulates visitor’s interaction with nature to reduce
the impact of human activity on the environment.
Architecture objects are located throughout the park and are connected
with wooden board foot-path raised above the ground.
The most important active recreation element is the inline skating track in the middle of the park.
The park also accomodates skate-board and street-ball grounds, a children playground,
cafes, sports inventory rental, toilets and other buildings.
Nature elements served as prototypes of architecture objects.
