The origins of the park at the Culture Palace “Ziemeļblāzma” date back to 30 March 1903, when the patron Augusts Dombrovskis donated a plot of land to the Non-Alcoholic Society Ziemeļblāzma and undertook to take care of its cultivation and landscaping. In the middle of the park stands the cultural palace of Ziemeļblāzma, which is both a cultural and historical asset and a unique architectural heritage of the Art Nouveau period. The cultural palace and the 5 hectare park have undergone major reconstruction and restoration works. During the restoration works, the rotunda and the mushroom house were restored in the park, using the burnt columns of the Culture Palace as a base. The newly-built 35-metre-high observation tower, with a modern lift, offers a wonderful view of Riga. The Palace of Culture hosts various concerts, has an exhibition hall, a café, excursions

There is a car park, but there are no signs for disabled people, but there is a ramp leading up from the car park. The library was closed at the time of the visit, but access is via a ramp. The building itself is accessible only with assistance (the door is heavy); the staff said that the security guard is very helpful and can come to your assistance. There is a vertical lift inside, and an elevator in the building itself. The aisles are wide, without thresholds. The toilet is not properly adapted. There are signs.
