Sacher Park

Sacher Park is a public green space located between the Knesset building and the Israel Museum, featuring open lawns and paved walkways. The site includes multiple sports areas such as basketball courts, soccer fields, tennis courts, and cycling paths for different activities.

The park was officially opened in 1963 during the early years following Israeli independence as part of Jerusalem's urban planning initiatives. Its creation reflected the city's growth and the development of modern green spaces during that period.

The park serves as a meeting ground for public celebrations and cultural events where locals gather during national holidays and performances. It functions as a social hub where people from different neighborhoods come together outdoors.

The park is freely accessible throughout the day with well-maintained paved pathways suitable for visitors of all abilities. Different areas are easily navigable, allowing for both leisurely walks and active recreation.

From elevated areas of the park, visitors can view the Supreme Court, the Knesset, and the Israel Museum together, creating a visual connection between major institutions. These vantage points allow people to see multiple landmarks of the city from one location.
