A community centre has been built instead of the manor house. The park is for leisure, walking with children, and sports (volleyball, basketball).Here, you can still perceive the wealth of the owners of the manor and admire the magnificent landscaping. In the autumn of 2006, a memorial stone to the Battle of Rannu was erected in the park. In 2016, a bench was dedicated for writer Mats Traat.
