Dzintari Forest Park is a 13-hectare protected pine forest in Jūrmala, featuring centuries-old pine trees and a distinctive 33.5-meter-high observation tower. The park serves as a recreational area with diverse infrastructure including paved walking paths, playgrounds, and skate parks. A wooden pedestrian bridge connects the park's various sections, elevated above the forest floor. The area incorporates an extensive network of footpaths and roller-skating tracks throughout the woodland. Vegetation is dominated by mature Pinus sylvestris stands. It functions as a year-round outdoor space integrated into the coastal landscape of the Gulf of Riga. Several children's playgrounds are themed and segmented by age groups. The park is located within walking distance of the Dzintari concert hall and the beach dunes.
