The park is not only an open-air gallery of modern Lithuanian sculpture but also one of the most sensitive historical layers of Klaipėda. Founded in 1977, the 12-hectare park exhibits 116 sculptures created by 67 Lithuanian artists.
However, the park used to be the place of the central cemetery of the city, which started operating in 1820. Today, it houses a monument to those buried there until 1944, as well as the graves of rebels and those who died during incorporation of the Klaipėda region into Lithuania. Among the objects of interest is the obelisk dating back to 1925, which is an authentic demarcation pillar that separated Lithuania Minor from Lithuania Major.
While visiting, discover the grave of J. L. Wiener, the 1923 Uprising Memorial, World War II memorial sites, and the Monument to Those Lost at Sea.
The park is a space where history, art, and recreation merge into one meditative narrative in a natural haven. It is a place where time seems to stand still, each path leads not only through the park but also through the memories of the city.
