Falgi Park (also called Falckspark or Lastepark, i.e. Children’s Park) has been established in the 19th century. The alderman of Tallinn Toom Guild (Dome Guild) and the famous philanthropist Hans Heinrich Falck acquired a plot of sandy empty land with a swampy reservoir known as Värvali Pond (Dyer’s Pond) in the middle of it in 1850-ies and started establishing a park in 1857. The pond was filled up and the area got fenced in, the trees and bushes were planted and the walking paths were laid down. A neo‑gothic restaurant-music pavilion was erected at the farthest end of the park. In 1868 Falck donated the park to the Dome Guild. The Guild rented the park after the death of Falck to the Society of the German Handicraftsmen, later on to the Estonian society „Lootus” (Hope). The park served primarily the restaurant guests, concerts took place and the itinerant circus stopped there from time to time. In 1921 the park was owned by the state and in 1926 the City of Tallinn took the possession of it. A large wooden velodrome was located near the present park for some time. During the World War II the park got bombed. In 1957 it got refurbished as a free shape garden again according to the design of Aleksander Niine and renamed to become Lastepark (Children’s Park). At the site of the former restaurant one can now find the Embassy of the United Kingdom.
