Hecht Park

Hecht Park, Urban park in Haifa, Israel

Hecht Park is a 75-dunam park in western Haifa, 1.2 km long and 60–70 m wide, laid out north to south between the coastal road and Dado Beach. Two stream channels, Nahal Lotem in the south and Nahal Aliya in the north, cross it over bridges, and concrete water passages under the railway link the park to the sea.

Hecht Park opened in 2008 on 75 dunams of land between Tel Shikmona and Dado Beach that had long been neglected and partly covered with waste. It was built by the Haifa municipality at a cost of 14 million shekels with funding from the Hecht Foundation, managed by Reuven Hecht's friend Harry Zessler, and named after Reuven Hecht. The landscape office Greenstein Har-Gil designed it, and in 2009 it received the Karavan Prize for garden and landscape architecture.

The park is named after Reuven Hecht, and it was funded by the Hecht Foundation, managed by his friend Harry Zasler. Since 2012 it has hosted the Haifa International Flower Exhibition, previously held at Gan HaEm. It also serves as a backdrop for wedding photos and city events.

The park is open most hours of the day and entry is free. It runs north to south along the coastal road, 1.2 km long and 60–70 m wide, crossed by bridges over the Lotem and Aliya stream channels. Concrete water passages under the railway link it to the beach, and a walking path leads from the park to Tel Shikmona national park along the coast.

The park's two stream channels, Nahal Lotem in the south and Nahal Aliya in the north, are crossed by bridges and continue through concrete water passages beneath the railway tracks, linking the park to the beach. Near the sea end of one passage stands an observation balcony over the water, the waves and the coastal rocks.
