Kiryat Seffer Garden, Public garden in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Kiryat Seffer Garden is a public garden in Tel Aviv built around two natural ponds connected by walking paths and shaded by mature trees. Seating areas are spread between open lawns and denser patches of foliage.
Neighborhood residents campaigned for around 15 years to turn a former police parking lot into a green space, which finally opened in 2013. Their effort shows how local pressure can change the way a city uses its land.
A community garden section allows neighborhood residents to grow vegetables and herbs together, making this green space a real meeting point. This shared practice is a visible part of daily life in the area.
The garden is easy to walk through, with flat and well-laid paths that connect all areas without difficulty. On hot summer days, the shaded spots under the older trees are the most comfortable places to stop.
A water system runs daily from an elevated fountain through designed channels into biological pools, ending in a pond built with recycled materials. This flow is easy to follow on foot and shows how the garden handles water in a way rarely seen in city parks.
