Description:
The City Park is about 5.2 ha. It’s a peaceful and quiet park where you can find the Kärdla Church, a choir stand and a playground for kids. Kärdla song festival grounds are also located in the park. The first part of the park was established in the 1860s, after the church was finished in a spot called Kirikupõllu (Church field). More trees were planted at the beginning of the 20th century. The “youngest” part of the park was planted in the 1970s. The main species of trees include the native ones like black alder, common ash, maple and linden, but there are also spruces, oaks, willow elms, and bushes like hazel, hawthorn, lilac and snowberry etc. All in all, there are more than 30 species of trees and bushes in the park. There is no marked trail, but one can easily find the way through the park. No marked parking spot for persons with disabilities.
