Independence Park Jerusalem, Public park in central Jerusalem, Israel

Independence Park spans between King George Street and Agron Street, featuring walking paths, green spaces, and recreational areas across its central location.

The park opened in 1958 on the former site of the Mamilla Cemetery, following urban development plans created by architect Charles Robert Ashbee in 1921.

The park serves as a gathering space for Jerusalem residents during national celebrations, hosting festivals and community events throughout the year.

Visitors can access multiple entrances from surrounding streets, with benches, playgrounds, and a cafe offering refreshments and hosting special events.

The park displays the 'Threshold of Jerusalem' sculpture created by Swiss artist Jean Arp, installed in 1971 as a distinctive artistic landmark.
