Sacher Park

Stretching between Nachlaot, Rehavia and the complex of government buildings on Givat Ram, Sacher Park is the largest green space in Jerusalem.

The stretch of grass is large enough that it only gets crowded during a concert, or when thousands of Israeli revelers converge on the Park en masse for the annual Independence Day grill fest. The trees on the edges of the grass provide sufficient shade for a sprawling picnic spread, while the unshaded areas are large enough to support a game of ultimate frisbee.

More activity-specific facilities include basketball courts, soccer pitches, tennis courts, a bike path (which extends for several kilometers beyond the park), a skateboarding area, and children’s playgrounds.
