The fountain – sculpture “Vāverīte” (Squirrel) was installed in the park in 1937. Sculptor Voldemārs Jēkabsons created it commissioned by the Latvian State Resort Authority. The sculpture is a squirrel-shaped figure with a cone in her hands, which is also the symbol in the coat of arms of Baldone district. This just like the other sculptures also was stolen. In 2017, 26 years past the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia, a sculpture was created and installed in the park again. It is a little bigger than the old one, as it symbolizes the growth and development of the Baldone region. The author of the new sculpture is sculptor Tālivaldis Muzikants, director of the Baldone Art School.
Park visitors are welcome to taste the curative sulphur water!
