Gan HaEm, Public garden in Carmel Center, Haifa, Israel

Gan HaEm is a public garden in the Carmel Center neighborhood of Haifa, Israel, with open lawns, shaded areas, and playgrounds. It also has seating areas, picnic spots, and a carousel, making it a place families regularly visit.

The garden grew from a garden attached to the house that Martin Schneider of the Carmel Mission built in 1913 on today's Hashev'i Street. In the 1940s, with the creation of Carmel Center, it became a leisure spot called Gan HaTznobar after the nearby pine-named street. After World War II the Mandate authorities expropriated the land, and with statehood it passed to the Haifa municipality. In 1951 Mayor Abba Hushi proposed planting the "Mother and Child Garden" for Mother's Day, on 51 dunams; the sculpture "Child Playing a Flute" by Arieh Resnik was placed there in June 1954.

The garden's name was chosen by mayor Abba Hushi, who proposed planting a "Mother and Child Garden" for Mother's Day in 1951, on 51 dunams of land. Since the Pride Parade moved to the Carmel, it has ended in Gan HaEm after marching along Moriah and President boulevards. An acoustic stage built into the garden, merged with the zoo, hosts live shows, mainly in summer.

The Carmelit station beside the garden was long called Gan HaEm, after the park; in 2018 it was renamed Merkaz HaCarmel. The garden lies on Sderot HaNasi, with Haifa Zoo and the Biological Institute next to it and Nahal Lotem continuing beyond. A planned funicular inside the garden was never built for lack of funds.

The garden's upper Carmelit station was long called Gan HaEm after the park; in 2018 it was renamed Merkaz HaCarmel. A planned funicular inside the 400-dunam garden was never built for budget reasons, and a small pump house that once fed the Lotem stream stands unused.
