Gan Ha'atzmaut, Urban park in Tel Aviv, Israel
Description
Gan Ha'atzmaut is an urban park along the Mediterranean coast west of Hayarkon Street, featuring open lawns surrounded by dense shrubs and pathways. The grounds sit atop a approximately 20-meter (65 feet) kurkar ridge with views toward the sea.
History
This park was designed and established in 1952 by architect Avraham Karavan. The land previously held remains of Hasmonean fortifications dating to the period of Alexander Jannaeus.
Culture
The garden follows an English style with multiple viewing areas spread throughout the grounds. Decorative pools decorated with mosaics by artist Shimon Tzabar add artistic touches to the space.
Practical
The park sits between Atarim Square and Nordau Boulevard, making it easy to reach from Tel Aviv's central areas. The elevated position on the kurkar ridge creates natural pathways that are straightforward to navigate.
Did you know?
Beneath the park lie remains of a tomb belonging to a Muslim saint named Abd al-Nabi. This burial site was part of a cemetery used by residents from the village of Sumayil and Jaffa during the 19th century.
