Quite wee park just for chill
Small quiet park with Lydia statue in the middle gives you a little break just to sit down and enjoy birds singing in the middle of olda town, after long ride between small shops and beer pubs :)

Historical monument in a beautiful park
Lydia Koidula was a true Estonian poetess and this might be one of the reasons the statue is located in a beautiful park. Definitely worthwhile visiting and taking time to be there.
