Löwenruh Park, Protected park in Lilleküla, Estonia
Löwenruh Park is a protected green area in Lilleküla covering 5.9 hectares with several circular ponds throughout the grounds. Bordered by Mustamäe and Linnu streets, it contains accessible playgrounds, pétanque courts, and interconnected walking and cycling paths.
The park's grounds began as the summer residence of Friedrich von Löwen, who governed Estonia from 1728 to 1736 during the 18th century. Over time, the estate transformed into the public green space it remains today.
The park takes its name from its founding owner and serves as a gathering place for residents from several neighboring districts. Walking paths and open spaces encourage daily encounters and shared community activities.
The park remains open year-round and is easy to navigate thanks to clearly marked paths and central gathering spaces. Winter months bring wet conditions, while summer months are ideal for extended walks and cycling rides.
The ponds are fed by natural springs originating from marine and glacial deposits beneath the surface. This hidden water system channels flow toward the Mustjõgi River, connecting the park to the surrounding landscape's natural hydrology.
