Gan HaHagana, Urban park in Abu Kabir neighborhood, Tel Aviv, Israel
Gan HaHagana is a public park in a residential area in the south of Tel Aviv. It features pine trees, paved paths for cycling and walking, play areas, and benches spread across the grounds.
The park was founded in 1941 and has carried its current name since it opened. After a long period of neglect, it was fully renovated in 2013 and brought back into regular public use.
The park sits in a residential neighborhood in the south of Tel Aviv and draws a mix of families, joggers, and dog walkers throughout the day. By late afternoon, the benches and open areas fill up with people from the surrounding streets.
The park has several entrances on different sides, so you can enter from whichever street is closest to you. Early morning and late afternoon tend to be cooler and more comfortable for a visit than midday.
A church building stands just to the north of the park, and a scientific institute borders it to the south, giving the green space an unexpected architectural frame on both sides. This kind of mix between places of different purpose around a single park is rare in Tel Aviv.
