"Trassipark" was named after the underground routes located in that area. which are also marked on the ground. It was this complex network of paths that imposed a number of constraints on the park's construction.

In addition to the graded paths, the park has been designed to include a variety of plant species, while the lush and multi-level green areas are interspersed with seating. There is also a small skate park and bicycle racks.

Until now, the property has been used as a parking area. The area was closed during the construction work and, when it is re-opened, will be for pedestrian use only.

The works were carried out by Lars Laj Eesti OÜ at a cost of €134,894 excluding VAT. The contracting authority is the Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department.

Trassipark is a continuation of the European Green Capital project "Green Tracks" which also saw a summer park built on Tallinn Town Hall Square (Raekoja Plats) this year.
