Gazelle Valley, Urban nature park in Jerusalem, Israel

The 250-dunam park features a resident herd of 30 mountain gazelles alongside diverse wildlife including mammals, birds, and local plant species.

In the 1990s, the Begin Highway construction isolated the valley's gazelle population, leading to conservation efforts to protect the endangered herd.

The Israeli mountain gazelle, once widespread across the eastern Mediterranean, now exists exclusively in Israel, with males weighing 25kg and females 18kg.

The park operates from sunrise to sunset daily, offering free admission and multiple walking trails with observation points throughout the grounds.

The park functions as a breeding nucleus for mountain gazelles, contributing to population restoration efforts in the Jerusalem mountains through animal releases since 2021.
