Snell Pond is located in the Old Town area of Tallinn's city centre, between Toompea Heights, Falgi Road, Toompuiestee and Nunne Street. In the 1960s there was a slipway on the Nunne Street side of Snell pond, where the wooden building at the end of the pond was used as a changing room.
On 15 September 2007, the charity campaign "AWARE 2007" took place,[1] which included the event "Clean Snell Pond!". The pond has a surface area of 1 ha and a circumference of 1030 m.[2]
History
The pond was formed by the moat surrounding Toompea Fortress, which was redesigned in the 19th century after the loss of the military importance of Tallinn Fortress as part of the parks and green spaces surrounding Tallinn Old Town.
