LIFE IS LIFE.
Matti Nykänen
This is the quintessence of Central Park!
The 340-meter trail offers dozens of different options. In summer, children can ride a bike, and young people can roller skate, and in winter, it will be a lively and fun ice skating rink. Those who remember know how many couples skated hand in hand at the Toomeoru skating rink once upon a time. We will bring this experience back to Tartu.
We will get together with each other again.
✅ The reason to come out from home to the city center
✅ Now you can skate with your family – both in winter and in summer

Children’s playground.
CHILDREN ARE OUR MAIN NATURAL RESOURCE.
Herbert Hoover
Children can play on this playground indefinitely; mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers can now certainly afford several hours of free time. The new playground will be bigger than before, and can accommodate up to 50 places of activity. Let’s try everything.
✅ A large playground basking in the sunshine
✅ A small nappy changing house by the playground

Climbing wall.
TEST YOURSELF. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HELP YOU CONTINUE TO GROW.
Morgan Freeman
What to do if we have no natural rock walls at our disposal – so we have to make our own climbing wall in the central park. And it’s not just for kids. Mothers and fathers do not have to walk hand in hand in central park either; a little athletic exercise always comes in handy.
✅ You can try new activities
✅ Climbing enthusiasts get their place – Tartu is sporty

Pergalo areas.
SOMETIMES, DOING NOTHING IS ALSO DOING SOMETHING.
Thomas Dewar
There must always be a place in the park where you can quietly separate yourself, talk to each other peacefully, think and meditate. A shady natural corner – how many bushes and flowers! – outright invites you to be there alone or with a couple of friends. Grandmothers and grandfathers will definitely come here when their grandchildren frolic on the playground.
✅ Rose garden, decorative shrubs, a decorative hedge
✅ Sufficiently shady spaces to take a rest with nature

Meeting houses.
IF THE INSPIRATION DOES NOT COME TO ME, I GO HALFWAY TO MEET IT.
Sigmund Freud
You can work anywhere. You can also work outside the office. To work outdoors, but at the same time a bit like in an office – this is the opportunity offered by the meeting rooms in the park. Even if it rains, you’re still outdoors. And walkers in the park see how important work and decisions are made.
The public nature characteristic of Tartu is first and foremost.
✅ Workhouses in the open air and all year round
✅ Inspiration and nature, a powerful combination

Benches in central park.
WITHOUT WORK, THERE IS NO HOLIDAY.
Estonian proverb
Let’s calculate a bit. There will be about 50 benches in central park. One bench can seat four people. So we can say that this park will become a park with two hundred seats. It’s actually a decent concert hall – in the open air and with such a diverse and breathtaking sound that it immediately reminds us of the Beatles of our youth. Grandmothers and grandfathers will remember.
✅ A sufficient amount of benches in the center of the city – relax and look around
✅ The best thoughts come when you can sit with your leg over your knee

Picnic areas.
UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRESENT MOMENT IS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
Eckhart Tolle
Central Park is also a place of freedom. Freedom to be. If you want to take your friends with you and come for a picnic for an hour or two, there are several places for that. The content of the picnic basket is, of course, up to everyone to decide, the main thing being that it is decent and safe, as is characteristic to Tartu. The cleanliness and order in Central Park, of course, are in our own hands.
✅ Urban picnic with friends in the green
✅ Now you can do what you haven’t done before in the Central Park of the city

Decorative shrubs
NOT ALL TRUTH IS BEAUTY, BUT ALL BEAUTY IS TRUTH.
Konstantin Stanislavski
Central Park should also be a place to study. The best place to get an idea of urban nature, get to know trees, shrubs, and even smaller plants. In the autumn, when the leaves fall, you can put together a great herbarium from Central Park, which shows how diverse one park in the middle of the city can be. And, of course, the trees and bushes also have labels – for example, Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata’.
✅ Our hometown nature park – we will get smarter
✅ Next to the pyramid oak, it is nice to discuss world affairs

Central square with shelter
IN ORDER TO SEE, ONE MUST NOT BE IN THE CENTER OF THE PICTURE.
Aurobindo
This shelter and the small square are the center of Central Park. It’s like a challenge to think of all sorts of activities that can be done here. Just to sit down, of course. But, also… a little violin concert, a meeting with a writer, a wind instrument evening, a magician’s performance, an exhibition of old bicycles, a performance by florists, a political debate and just sitting and reading a book. The choice is open and endless.
✅ Every week new activities under the roof: food, poetry, music, art
✅ Where is the heart of the park? Where you are

Petanque and ping pong
WHO IS NOT LUCKY IN a CARD GAME IS LUCKY IN LOVE.
Estonian proverb
Game is the basis of an entire life. A game with a flavor of competition is important. And of course, exciting. So there is no way Central Park can be without a game and a competition. Petanque and table tennis are the two games you can play in the park. It is not at all impossible that one day even a year-round Central Park table tennis championship will be launched.
✅ The game is what fascinates us all
✅ Winner at the table – this is the rule of Central Park

Outdoor gym
FORCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE MIND FORMES THE BEST HARMONY IN THE WORLD.
Elizabeth I
There is no way we can get by without an outdoor gym – exercise gives you a good mood and a healthy complexion. In this way, we bring exercise, training, and practice to the city center, so we show that the people of Tartu are an exercising nation, so we set an example for other people of Tartu. And then we will make outdoor gyms in other downtown parks as well.
✅ The people of Tartu are an exercising nation
✅ Children to the playground, you yourself to the gym – so the whole family comes to Central Park

LIFE IS LIKE CYCLING – YOU MUST MOVE FORWARD TO MAINTAIN BALANCE.
Albert Einstein
We come here on foot. We come here by bicycle, both conventional and electric. We come here by scooters. Some will definitely come with a skateboard. More and more bicycles are coming to the city center, and therefore to Central Park. This is how we will be a cycling city of Tartu.
✅ Tartu is the best place to be a cycling city
✅ We will leave the car at home because cycling is cool
