Michael Parki mälestusmärk

A beautiful spot along the promenade following the Baltic Sea coast outside of Tallinn. This is a perfect area for cycling or running with many interesting memorials and statues along the way

Michael “Beef” Park was a UK-born Rally Co-driver, who partnered with Estonian World Rally Car driver Markko Martin. The pair shared five World Championship event victories during six years together competing at World level. During which time they were renowned for a not just an excellent working relationship together but a great sense of humour, in and out of the car. Michael often commenting that Estonia felt like his second home".Michael lost his life in September 2005 whilst he and Markko were competing in the Wales Rally GB event. When their Peugeot 307 WRC left the road at high speed during the Margam Special Stage and collided with a tree on the co-driver's side. Leaving a wife Marie and two young children. The people of Estonia erected this beautiful cube-shaped memorial a year later. As a tribute to all that Michael and Markko had achieved to help re-establish Estonia in the eyes of the wider world and promote Estonia as an independent and proud country.I was a contemporary with Michael several years earlier in the UK Peugeot Challenge rally training programme. We were friends with a shared passion for rallying. I visited this sculpture in 2015

Ilus koht kus hea jalga puhata ja nautida vaadet.

In a beautiful place on the Pirita promenade, free of charge

I always liked this place. There's one of the best views of the city from here. The shining iron sculpture in summer in this beautiful location is one of the places that you must see in Tallinn.

Kena koht, uhke mälestis.

Meeldiv mälestis. Tore koht väikeseks peatuseks

Pretty place to collect your thoughts and enjoy the sea

Nice tribute
