Ventspils is famous for being family-friendly, and this park is a cool example. Interesting activities, a comfortable and large space, well-designed and maintained, it's just a serious effort to encourage active fun. I just wish my granddaughter lived nearby and could have a blast every day! Also, it's a short walk from other family-friendly attractions like an openair museum and the beach.
