The Kalevi Garden was a sports ground in Tallinn that existed before World War II. It was located on the site of today's Viru Square. In 1865, Mayor Jakob Johann Gonsior bequeathed the large plot of land to the city and a garden was established where many public celebrations and sporting events took place. The area was first called Gonsior Garden.
In 1922, this sports ground became Kalevi Garden. Sports events were held there, such as football, athletics, ice hockey, hockey and other sports competitions. A wooden goal tower was built on Kalevi Garden in 1924.
The sports ground, together with the old direction of Gonsiori Street,
disappeared from Tallinn's cityscape after the war in the second half of the
1940s.
