Last week, as part of the “Green Tracks” project, the construction of Jõesuu 5 Park was initiated, which will elevate the main pedestrian and cyclist access to the city’s most popular beach to a new level. During the project, the Jõesuu 5 plot will receive a modern makeover that enriches the urban space and provides visitors with a diverse and attractive environment.

The new recreational area is a part of Tallinn – European Green Capital’s vision, aiming to make the urban space greener, more functional, and more human-friendly. In the development of Jõesuu 5 Park, several new elements will be established to enhance the area’s functionality and attractiveness. In addition to the updated spatial layout, a sheltered bicycle parking area, seating areas, and an increase in tall greenery will be added. This will offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy pleasant leisure time, sports activities, and nature in a renewed and welcoming environment.

“The Pirita representative plot has long awaited renovations to utilize the space at the heart of Pirita as a place where people can gather, relax, enjoy the riverside beauty, and the historical sailing complex. Hopefully, Jõesuu 5 will become a cozy meeting place for both locals and visitors of Pirita. The park’s renovation is an important step in creating a better living environment for the residents of Tallinn,” noted Kaido Saarniit, Head of the Pirita District.

Jõesuu 5 was designed by Annika Valkna Arhitekta OÜ, the landscaping was designed by landscape architect Peep Moorast, and the construction work is carried out by Mefab OÜ. The project is planned to be completed by October 2023.

The European Green Capital project “Green Tracks” combines various activities focused on improving the quality of green areas, adding new greenery, and enhancing spatial quality in densely used areas. The project also supports the development of urban green networks and offers innovative urban spatial solutions through space planning and prototypes.
