Männipark, Public park in Mustamäe, Estonia.
Männipark is a public park in Mustamäe that spans about 10.6 hectares between Ehitajate tee, Sõpruse puiestee, and Keskuse street. It features green lawns, walking paths, two large playgrounds, a traffic education area, and routes for bicycles and rollerblades throughout the grounds.
The site evolved from meadowland into forested terrain, with about 4.3 hectares now covered by mossy pine trees and various non-native tree species. This transformation reflects how the landscape changed over time.
The Meditation Garden holds benches dedicated to Estonian writers such as Anton Hansen Tammsaare and Eduard Vilde. These seats create a space where visitors pause to reflect on the literary figures connected to the nation's cultural identity.
The grounds are well lit and feature separate paths for different types of users, making navigation straightforward. The two playgrounds and traffic education area are clearly marked, so families can easily find what they need.
A concert shell with a sloped wooden roof on a metal frame has stood in the park since 2008, echoing the design found at Vabaduse Park in Nõmme. This freestanding structure serves as an informal venue for performances and gatherings.
