Gan HaTiqwa

Gan HaTiqwa, Public park in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Gan HaTiqwa is a park at the corner of HaHagana and Givati streets in the Hatikva neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, planted in 1954 to a plan by Avraham Karavan. It has an acoustic shell designed by Zvi Hecker, a memorial sign for the 8 December 1947 battle, and a small hill in its southern part called Givat Ofra, marked by a memorial to singer Ofra Haza in the shape of a treble clef.

The park was planted in 1954 to a plan by architect Avraham Karavan, giving residents of the crowded Shekhunat HaTiqwa neighbourhood an open green space. Before Israel's War of Independence the site was open fields and orchards on the defence line against Salama, called the "Dog Line" because guards used watchdogs there. The battle of Shekhunat HaTiqwa began on 8 December 1947 with a diversionary attack on this sector. A memorial column for the battle was replaced by a plaque in August 2016.

The park is named after the Shechunat HaTiqwa neighbourhood, whose name means "neighbourhood of hope". A large sign in the centre records that a 1981 renovation was funded by the Jewish community of New York on condition the park be renamed "New York Garden" after Yosef Wall, but the city's own signs kept the name Gan HaTiqwa. Singer Ofra Haza grew up at nearby 39 Boaz Street; after her death a small hill in the park's south was named Givat Ofra and given a memorial shaped like a musical treble clef.

The park sits at the corner of HaHagana and Givati streets in the Hatikva neighbourhood, about 3.5 km south of central Tel Aviv, 24 m above sea level. Look for the large sign in the centre of the garden and the memorial plaque to the December 1947 battle. The southern part rises into a small hill, Givat Ofra, where the Ofra Haza memorial stands.

A small hill in the park's south is called Giv'at Ofra, after singer Ofra Haza, who grew up at nearby Boaz Street 39. A memorial shaped like a sol key stands on it. The park also holds an acoustic shell designed by Zvi Hecker.
