Lillepi Park

Lillepi Park

The park is located between Pirita, Saare, Kose and Rummu Roads and originates not from a summer mansion but the Lulepa farm which belonged to Peeter Lulepa. The present park area must have been a hayfield with sporadic natural forest stands. The tree nursery has probably existed there: it is a historical fact that Joachim Christian von Koch has bought 200 young trees from the master of Lulepa farm for the needs of the park at his summer manor in Kose. The farm sold trees later on as well, mostly natural lime‑trees, birches, ash trees and aspens; up to 800 trees were taken at a time. The present‑day area is mostly covered with wood with a grass field of 3,5 ha in the middle.

Natural vegetation is prevailing − pines, black alders, ash trees, smooth‑barked elms, oaks and birches. There were 74 species of trees and bushes in the park in 2008, 35 of them being native.
