Description:
Brocēni Forest Park has been developed into a pleasant area for active recreation, featuring walking trails for exploring the forest, playgrounds for children, and several picnic areas. It is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, parents with strollers, and people using wheelchairs.
The total length of the walking trails is 3.25 km, but visitors can choose their own routes according to their preferences. Rhododendron plantings can be seen in the park, delighting visitors with their vibrant blooms in early summer.
The park also features an obstacle course with more than 20 sections of varying difficulty. The course is free to use and does not require prior booking.
Two tactile information stands have been installed in Mežaparks, featuring plants and berries found in the park. These stands allow visitors to explore the textures of berries and flowers through touch, as well as access information in a tactile format and in Braille.
About Ciecere Harbour
As part of the WaterWays project, the Ciecere harbour area has been improved with a strong focus on accessibility, including for people with mobility impairments. The infrastructure has been designed to ensure the area is convenient and safe for a wide range of visitors – pathways of appropriate width have been constructed, handrails have been installed along the boardwalks, and the information stand is placed at an accessible height. In addition, an accessible changing cabin, benches, a lifebuoy with a stand, and bicycle parking have been installed.
