Gan HaHagana, Urban park in Abu Kabir neighborhood, Tel Aviv, Israel
Gan HaHagana is an urban park in a residential area south of Tel Aviv that spreads across multiple hectares. The grounds feature pine trees, paved cycling paths, walking trails, and various spaces with play equipment and benches for rest.
The site was founded in 1941 and has carried the name Gan HaHagana since the beginning. After years of neglect, it underwent major renovations in 2013 and was transformed into a well-maintained public space.
The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors from the southern area meet and spend time together in open spaces. You see families with children playing, joggers passing by, and people enjoying the shade of the trees throughout the day.
The park can be accessed from multiple entrances, allowing visitors to enter from different sides. The best visiting times are early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more comfortable and fewer people are around.
The site is bordered by a church building to the north and a scientific institute to the south, giving it an unexpected architectural backdrop. This location makes the space an interesting contrast between nature and urban structures.
