Johan Laidoneri plats, Urban park in Viljandi, Estonia
The park features diagonal pedestrian paths through green spaces and contains a central fountain with the sculpture Boy with a Fish by August Vonm.
The site functioned as Viljandi's primary marketplace from the 13th century until 1933, when it was transformed into the current park layout.
The park received its name from Johan Laidoner, an Estonian military commander, and underwent several name changes during different political periods.
The park connects to multiple streets including Lutsu, Linnu, Trepimägi, Lossi, Hiire, Kauba, and Munga, with a total perimeter of 249 meters.
The park grounds formerly hosted various specialized markets, including candle fairs, pancake fairs, Jüri fairs, Midsummer fairs, and Mihkel fairs.
