Mangansala peninsula is situated in the Daugava mouth of Baltic sea in Riga, Latvia.
The main attraction of the peninsula is its exceptional nature and different types of water and coast:
1. BALTIC SEA
Beach and dunes – in the future the dune area is preserved as it is, recreational use of the area is enhanced.
2. RIVER DAUGAVA
Heavily treated port and industrial area – in the future when the use is changing, riverbank can be designed as a public marina with boulevard and recreational facilities. There can be exclusive riverside housing up to 5 levels.
3. VECDAUGAVA
Natura 2000 protection area with a lot of birds and reed – in the future there can be a nature path and the small motor boat marina of the new Mangansala housing area.
4. NEW CANALS
People are offered contact to the water just next to the houses. Residents have a possibility to keep their private boats even next to the apartments.
It is very important to offer public accessibility to all these water areas and possibility to walk around the peninsula.
