Keila River Park

[edit]

Located on the grounds of the former Keila Manor and along the Keila River,[3] Keila River Park (Estonian: Keila Jõepark) dates back to the 17th century. The ruins of a prehistoric sacrificial stone and a small castle can be seen while strolling around the park.

Several bat species[4] also inhabit the vicinity and can be seen soaring through the park on summer nights.
