Kärdla City Park
Estonia, Hiiumaa

Kärdla City Park is a central green space located in the heart of the town of Kärdla on Hiiumaa Island, Estonia. The park was established in the mid-19th century, around the 1860s, on the initiative of the local Baltic German manor owners, the Ungern-Sternberg family, who played a significant role in the development of the area. The park's creation is closely linked to the history of the nearby Kärdla cloth factory, one of the largest industrial enterprises in Estonia at the time, for which it served as a recreational area for workers and management. A notable feature within the park is the memorial to the victims of the 1941 June Deportations, a somber reminder of the Soviet repressions. The park is also known for its diverse collection of trees and shrubs, including both native and introduced species, which began to be systematically planted in the park's early years. Over its long history, the park has been a central venue for public gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events for the local community. It serves as a popular place for relaxation and walks for both residents and visitors to Hiiumaa.
