It's huge green area in central Jerusalem, just around the Knesset. The grass and flower beds look very well manicured. There are trees that provide canopy. It was constructed in 1963, named after Henry Sacher, a prominent figure of Zionist Movement. It's a very large space for walkers/joggers, dog walkers, family activities. What's most notable is the Bonsho, a Japanese Zen Buddhist Bell that was donated by a group of Japanese folks to the city of Jerusalem in 1996. Its installation was accepted by the then Mayor of Jerusalem and by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The Bonsho is a symbol of everlasting peace. This one an Sacher park has an inscription from the Book of Psalms 122:6 (Telehim): " Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee" The bell itself is unique, lacking a clapper. In the Zen tradition, a mallet will have to use to strike the bell. There are 108 chubchiks on the top half of the bell. These represents the Zen's human 108 defilements; striking the bell 108 times would represent cleansing of these defilements.

Unbelievable, stupendous, georgous, amazing park. We spent hours here having a nice enjoyable chilled barbeque. Oh of course we did it right! With our big charcoal grill (which in this country we know it takes seconds to light that charcoal) and the tables they supply we rocked that grill. Btw bring a frisbee and footballs (no not kador regel! American footballs) and have a nice catch while trying not to hit everybody. Great views. Phonominal nature- perfect for a nice calm stroll on they're wonderful trail going around the whole park. Big playground for the kids (or adults that still wanna be kids) with many slides and climbing objects. Can buy some snack and drinks on campus as well. This place suits all different people; from joggers, bikers, and cyclists, to people who'd like to fly kites or just sit on a bench and pick their noses as they space out at the guy who can't get his grill started (must've used American charcoal).

Incredible park! It’s very very large with great facilities and tons of attractions. There’s an enormous play gym area with well built and fun climbing and sliding and swinging implements of all kinds. It’s very impressive. Well thought out. There’s also: • A cafe restaurant • snack and drink carts • restrooms • walking and biking paths • courts for ball playing • open fields of green galore • shaded rest areas • benches and seating • stadium style stone seats • it’s easily accessible by Bus on the 15 line. Highly recommended for parents with kids aged 2-15 for sure 👍🏼

Our larger family went to celebrate one of the kids birthdays. We brought a grill, blankets and a lot of extra food and equipment. There are large, rolling lawns and the most amazing, modern play structure I have seen in years. Hundreds of children of all ages from tots to teens were climbing and exploring. Highly recommend it, especially for large and extended families as it is free. Bring food and make a day of it.

Gorgeous and accessible park in the heart of Jerusalem. Wide green fields with lush grass to picnic on, and beautiful trees to lie under. Nice walking paths, play parks for children, and exercise parks for adults. Great place for a run or a bike ride. There is a nice Cafe to grab a bite, and a drinks cart to get an ice coffee. There is a station at the entrance where you can rent a bike.
