In the center of the busy city, some fresh air, blue skies, grass and trees (and even a small lake).

This park is a sanctuary of greenery in the busy bustling city.  Located on the central and noisy King George Street just off Dizengoff Center, Gan Meir is one of the most popular havens for children, dogs and people, who are tired from the city's white buildings and honking cars (sadly, the "white city" has rather gray buildings mostly).

There is also a lovely little pond covered with Water Lilies of all different kinds. It doesn't really resemble Monet's paintings, but it's very nice and relaxing nevertheless. Originally, Gan Meir was designed to be a miniture model of Israel.  This little fish pond represents the Kineret lake, Israel's main source of water.

Grab a sandwich, a Falafel, or a slice of Pizza on one of the nearby street, or even some homemade food from Dizengoff Center's food fair, and sit down for a peaceful rest amongst the trees and the birds. 

Address: 35 King George St.
