At the end of the 19th century, a new sulphuric water tank “Muciņa” (Barrel) was constructed in place of the old sulphur vessel. It had a closed wooden gable above it. A pipe led water from the tank to the sculpture “Muciņa” where the water was available for general use. Later, a sculpture “Ķirzaciņa” (Lizard) was installed above the tank. In the 1930s, a new pavilion was built above the sulphur plant the provided further sulphur water supply from the 10th borehole. In 1955, after rebuilding of “Muciņa” water tank the sulphuric water discharged from the mouth of “Ķirzaciņa”. In 1994, the sculpture “Ķirzaciņa” was stolen and by 2017 the sulphuric water flew out of a pipe. In 2017, the city began pavilion reconstruction along with creation and installation of a prototype of the sculpture “Ķirzaciņa”, thus completing the renovation of the park’s fountains.
Park visitors are welcome to taste the curative sulphur water!
