Parking
The park has no car park of its own. People use street parking around Nachlaot and Rehavia or the garage at the Cinema City complex in Givat Ram. It is at its worst on Independence Day and during concerts.
How long to allow1–2 hours AgesAll ages. The playground covers toddlers through older children, with climbing structures and slides, plus a ninja course and skate areas for teenagers. Indoor or outdoorOutdoor On Shabbat and chagimOpen Best time to goLate afternoon in spring and autumn. Expect crowds on Independence Day, when the whole city barbecues here. AccessibilityWide flat lawns and paved paths, easy with a buggy, though the park slopes gently from one end to the other.
Insider tips
- Picnics are fine anywhere; barbecuing is only allowed in the designated areas, which have coal-disposal bins.
- Cinema City's car park is the practical fallback when the streets are full.
- The bike path carries on for several kilometres past the park boundary.
- The Jerusalem Bird Observatory sits on the park's edge and makes an easy add-on.
- Shade is patchy — claim a tree early on a summer afternoon.
