Kiryat Seffer Garden, Public garden in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Kiryat Seffer Garden is a public garden in Tel Aviv with two natural ponds supporting diverse plant life, connected by walking paths and dotted with seating areas beneath mature trees. The layout creates both open areas and shaded zones where visitors can sit comfortably.
Local residents worked for 15 years to transform a former police parking lot into this green space, which opened in 2013. The project demonstrates how communities can reshape urban land for recreation.
A community garden section lets neighborhood residents grow vegetables and herbs together, strengthening the bond between urban life and nature. This shared activity has become a regular part of local life.
Benches placed throughout the garden sit in the shade of mature trees, offering relief during Tel Aviv's hot summers. Areas with denser foliage are most comfortable to visit during midday heat.
Water flows daily through designed channels from an elevated fountain into three biological pools and ends in a pond made with recycled materials. This water system blends environmental care with visual interest throughout the garden.
