Keila River Park

Situated on the grounds of the former Keila Manor and along the Keila River,[3] the park's (Keila Jõepark) history dates back to the 17th century. Ruins of a prehistoric sacrificial stone and a small castle can be seen while strolling around the beautiful park.

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