Haapsalu has been awarded the title of a Child Friendly City – the various playgrounds in the town are the proof of that. The playground at Posti Street is in the small park right next to the building of Haapsalu Town Government. The children can either climb, swing or play in the sandbox; the parents can sit comfortably on a bench and watch their children.

The Gulf Tagalaht and its surroundings in Haapsalu are an ideal place for kayaking. It’s also a great place to see many different bird species. Kayaking in autumn is a spectacle in itself because you can watch the migration of geese and common cranes. On the other hand, kayaking in summer is very pleasant in the sun. Often the water is too shallow even for kayaks, fortunately the route can be changed according to the group and water level. In addition, various sights can be seen, for example Haapsalu Kuursaal, different harbours, Suur Viik Bay, old Kalakombinaat, etc.

At the beginning of the kayaking trip, we always talk about water safety and teach basic paddling skills.

Haapsalu Adventure Park is located in the beautiful Paralepa Park Forest (2 km from the city centre).
The adventure park has four different adventure trails with versatile games and almost 50 attractions (Tarzan jump, zip-line).
There is a children’s park where the trails are low and safe. Adults can find themselves descending and climbing from a height of 14 metres. All trails end with a zip-line descent.
We offer adventure opportunities all year round, depending on the weather conditions.
We offer joy and adventures for young and old. Bring your family, friends, or classmates!
Adventures are in the air!

The Paralepa outdoor gym in Haapsalu has seven different benches where you can do different types of muscle training and stretching exercises. The benches have manuals. The Paralepa outdoor gym is located near Fra Mare Thalasso Spa, next to the Paralepa Health Trail car park under a pine forest. The gym is also the starting point for the Paralepa Health Trails.

There are ski and hiking trails of different lengths and degrees of difficulty in Palivere. In winter, children can enjoy sledding on Palivere slopes.

The trails – which are 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7,3 km in length – can be used at different times of year for skiing, running, cycling, Nordic walking, and simply hiking depending on the preferences of the visitor; the area is also perfect for GPS games and orienteering. There is also a 1.5-kilometre-long lit trail. 
There is a car park for 100 cars, a warm outdoor toilet, and campfire sites at the start of the trail. You can also play disc golf (18 holes).

There is an old ski-jumping tower close to the hiking trails
