Haatzmaut Garden (Independence Park)

Haatzmaut Garden or Independence Park (in Hebrew – "Gan Haatzmaut") is a public park near the sea beach of Tel-Aviv, between Atarim Square ("Kikar Atarim") to Nordau Street ("Shderot Nordau").

The literal meaning of "Haatzmaut" from Hebrew is "The independence". The area of the garden is sprawl under 150 dunams. The garden was designed by very well known  international architects, and is considered one of the very old and beautiful gardens in Tel-Aviv.

 

In this garden you can see many different kinds of plants. In the evening when the sun is falling the garden looks very beautiful and the near by sea gives it a very romantic atmosphere.    

In the center of the garden you can find Hilton Tel-Aviv Hotel. In the garden you can also find a small Muslim graveyard, that was belong in the past for an Arabic rural village.

Over the years the place has become a central gathering place for homosexual people, although today it is not the only place for homosexual people and isn't the central one at all.
