Hakovshim Garden, Public park in Tel Aviv, Israel

Gan Koveshim is a public park in Tel Aviv with open green spaces and pathways designed for walking and outdoor activity. The layout includes multiple zones where visitors can rest, exercise, or simply spend time in the open air.

The garden was planned by Tel Aviv city gardener Avraham Karavan and opened to the public on 19 May 1957, Lag BaOmer. It was laid out on part of Manshiya, a neighbourhood along the Tel Aviv–Jaffa seam that was largely destroyed in the 1948 war; in the 1960s and 1970s its houses were demolished completely. The monument at its centre, by sculptor Michael Kara and his son, architect Haim Kara, was unveiled two weeks earlier, on Israel's memorial day in 1957.

The space functions as a meeting point where residents spend time with family and friends throughout the week. You'll notice people using it for casual gatherings and everyday social moments that shape neighborhood life.

The garden lies between the Carmelit bus terminal, the Hassan Bek Mosque and the Shabazi neighbourhood, near the Carmel Market and Charles Clore Park. It was renewed in 2022 with new paths, lighting, fitness equipment, a dog run and a seasonal water feature among the ash trees at its edge. The wide lawn at the centre covers about 8.5 dunams.

The garden's lawn covers about 8.5 dunams, ringed by mature trees including tamarisks, several species of ficus and Indian rosewood. City gardener Avraham Karavan, inspired by the English garden, planted them in a random scatter rather than an ordered grid, and chose species suited to the nearby sea and high salinity.
