For a long time, there were no recreational area in this part of
the city, so in 1930ies local folk wrote a petition to the council
of Riga. A place was freed from old disused artillery warehouses -
hence the name Artilerijas street. So Ziedondarzs was
founded.
Tiny at that time park held "Big zoological circus of Colorado"
event, but townsfolk kept expanding the park, making it three times
larger, until its current size. They say that the name was given by
the head gardener.
Alexander Chak, who liked the park very much, was devoted a
monument built in 1981.
The owners of newly built "Ziedondarza majas" had promised to
rebuild small pavillion, where there were bicycles for rent and
refreshments and ice cream.

Ilgu laiku taja pilsetas puse, kur tagad ir Ziedondarzs,
nebija neviena parka. Pagajuša gadsimta 30 gados vietejie
uzrakstija vestuli Rigas parvalde ar lugumu ierikot darzu.
1935. gada te atrada vietu vecu artilerijas noliktavu vieta
- kuri savulaik deva nosaukumu blakus esošai Artilerijas
ielai.
Maza parka 30to gadu beigas apstajas "Kolorado lielais zoologiskais
cirks", tacu pilsetas valde neapstajas un parku palielinaja. Piecu
gadu laika parks kluva trisreiz lielaks, savu nosaukumu tas guvis
pec galvena darzkopa uzvarda.
