Neighbourhood

There is a little something for everyone here. You can enjoy a stroll, or sit and relax in comfortable seating areas as your children climb and play nearby. Art lovers will appreciate the park’s captivating sculpture alley.

The park features two open bookcases – one for young readers and one for adults. You are welcome to borrow a book to read in the park or take home, and of course to leave a few of your own for others to discover.

To make the most of Estonia’s lovely weather, the park also includes covered seating areas where you can relax alone or with friends. This is a park where you can simply be.

For conscious lounging

Uus-Veerenni Park stands out because its innovative design artfully repurposes old concrete and asphalt from the former factory site. The industrial materials offer a captivating juxtaposition with the new buildings, infusing character and harmony into the surroundings.

The park was visited on the Estonian Literature Day by neuroscientist and University of Tartu Computer Science Institute professor Jaan Aru, who shared his thoughts on why reading is useful for our brains and which works by Estonian authors everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.

Intermediate Park is a temporary yet dynamic and energetic space nestled in the heart of Uus-Veerenni. Until the new residential buildings are completed, it offers plenty of opportunities for recreation and activity.

The park’s design makes clever use of surplus materials from the concrete plants. These have been repurposed into steps, stands, sports field edges, ping-pong tables, ramps, and cycling track elements. The result is a distinctive look that demonstrates how leftover materials can be transformed into a high-quality and functional urban space.

Here, you can play basketball, football, or volleyball, climb, swing, develop your cycling skills, enjoy a picnic, hold a meeting, or even celebrate a birthday outdoors.

Discover 1,000- and 2,000-step walking routes that wind through courtyards and parks, offering exercise opportunities for residents of all ages. For padel enthusiasts, there is an outdoor padel centre open from spring to autumn.

The park features an outdoor gym, basketball court, and beach volleyball court that are open 24/7. In addition, there is a yoga studio and a training hall nearby.

About 3 km from Uus-Veerenni lies the Järve health trail, an ideal spot for rollerblading, cycling, running, or enjoying a leisurely walk. The trails connect to Tallinn’s light-traffic network, so you can easily continue your route to other parts of the city.
Here, you have different ways to stay active every day without having to go far from home.

Uus-Veerenni Park and Intermediate Park are favourite places for children to climb, run, and play. The courtyards between the buildings also feature dedicated play areas for children of all ages, with sandpits, play structures, and trampolines. These inviting playgrounds invite children to spend time with friends and make new acquaintances. Walking paths are separated from car traffic, allowing children to safely run, cycle, or scoot around.

The quarter has its own lovely Kalli-Kalli kindergarten and childcare centre, and several other nurseries and kindergartens are within walking distance.

The Kalli-Kalli kindergarten also serves as a community centre, offering an array of hobby groups, festive birthday celebrations, and thrilling summer activities, including day camps and summer kindergarten programmes. It is a place where children can learn, play, and make new friends.

As part of the ‘Visiting Merko Homes’ project, we have visited several homes in Uus-Veerenni – each with its own personality and story.

The first home we visited belonged to Anna-Maria’s family, where time seems to stand still and design speaks for itself. Their home is special – it was created by merging two apartments into one that perfectly meets the family’s wishes. The interior features natural colours and materials, with timeless Danish design taking centre stage. You can read more about their home on Merko’s blog.

Next, we visited Eva’s family, whose home is filled with personal details – each telling a meaningful story about the family’s values and hobbies. Their Uus-Veerenni home is already the third home built by Merko for the family – after living on Sõpruse puiestee and later in Noblessner, they have now found their ideal family haven in this safe garden district in the city centre.
