Best Practices

In 2015 in Vecumnieki was created ice rink , where in winter the residents can skate and play hockey. Within the framework of the project, square edges were constructed on the ice rink, water connection was established and reinforced concrete columns were installed, to which the lanterns were attached, so that the area can be used also in the dark hours of the day. Ice rink is actively used by children, pupils after school hours and holidays, and adults.

The best project of 2016 is the restoration of a wooden gazebo in Kurmene Park, thus preserving the ancient appearance of Kurmene Park, and the construction of a wooden staircase on the bank of the River Mēmele. The landscaped park is a relaxing and walking place for families, while a wooden staircase is useful for boaters wishing to land on the banks of the River Memes.

In 2018, a project where parents set up a playground for children in a courtyard apartment, and a sports ground for youth, where basketball and football can be played, was won. The biggest benefit in the project is for families with children, because at last children have the opportunity to spend time in games and games near their home. Young people are happy to have the opportunity to spend their free time playing the ball on the new sports field.
