Wismari was the historic home ground of the nine-time Estonian champion Tallinna Sport during the first period of independence in Estonia.
The name of the Wismari street and stadium comes from the fortification that was located in the area at the end of the 17th century - the Wismari Ravelin.
Wismari Stadium was opened in 1916 by Tallinna VS Sport, who rented the field from the nearby German "vaestekooli" school. Then known as Spordi väljak, the stadium was mainly used for football during the summer, and bandy during the winter.
In 1932, the stadium was reconstructed as a velodrome, but the track was demolished three years later in 1935.
