פארק הצנירים, Natural park in Kedumim, Israel
Tzanirim Park is a natural park near Kedumim that features striking limestone formations sculpted by water over time. The landscape showcases natural pools and carved depressions that form an open-air geological display.
The park's landscape was shaped by water and natural forces over many centuries, preserving evidence of quarrying and water storage from ancient times. Archaeological finds reveal how early inhabitants used these geological features for their needs.
Since 2006, evangelical Christian volunteers from Orlando contribute funds and send annual groups to maintain and enhance the park facilities.
Visitors can access the park through several different routes and should wear sturdy footwear since the ground is uneven in many places. Basic facilities are available, but it is wise to bring plenty of water and sun protection.
The site was first exposed in 1981 by Boaz Weiner, the Kedumim gardener, during a routine field survey. A Beit El youth group from Cleveland, Ohio, led by attorney Dennis Seaman, began clearing rocks and quarries in July 2004. The park's ancient rock-cut pools date roughly to the Byzantine period, dug because the western Samaria hills have few springs and needed summer drinking water.
