גן לאומי גבעות הכורכר נס ציונה

The park extends across 800 dunams of land, featuring sandstone hills covered with diverse Mediterranean and desert vegetation types near residential areas.

The area underwent substantial changes over time, transitioning from citrus orchards and landfills to protected status through local environmental preservation efforts.

Local volunteers known as Hill Guardians maintain the park's pathways, organize clean-up activities, and educate visitors about environmental conservation.

Visitors can access the park through the intersection of Hyacinth Street and Kurkar Hills Road, with parking available on nearby streets.

The purple iris, a flower species found only in Israel's coastal regions, blooms extensively throughout the park during February.
