Vērmane Garden, located in Riga, Latvia, is a popular and beloved park among locals and tourists alike. It is one of the oldest public parks in the city and offers a peaceful and picturesque setting for relaxation and recreation. The park is well-maintained, and the attention to detail is evident throughout. One of the highlights of Vērmane Garden is its central pond, which is home to various species of ducks and swans. There are also several benches around the pond where you can sit and enjoy the serene atmosphere. It can get crowded during weekends and holidays, especially in the summer. If you prefer a quieter experience, it's best to visit on weekdays or during off-peak hours.

I went to Vermane Garden yesterday and had a good time there, but as a Muslim, I was saddened because I saw bibles on the bench and people throwing them away. It's a holy book, and I feel bad about how you people are treating the Holy Book that was revealed to Jesus (A.S). Consider how you will gain care,respect from humanity if you do not respect the holy scriptures. Consider for a moment. Those books are with me, and I'm going to deposit them in a library. I've also attached the photos.

Lots of different trees. There are a pair of old pecan nut trees. They are at risk of falling. One is leaning to the left and the other to the right,so they have strapped them together. It's ingenious. Lovely park with a fountain and quaint ice cream vans(little carts). There is a lake full of lilies and ducks. A bridge crosses a narrow section and its iron structure is completely covered in padlocks most with names on and some old and curious.

park located in the center of Riga, always clean, green areas to sit, organized, typical Latvian trees, always have events happening inside the park... great for children, a big and fun playground, several entrances and facilities for wheelchair users. ..just the public toilets which are not so clean. But it is a beautiful park to relax, work, meditate, exercise. I recommend
