National Park aka Park Leumi - Ramat Gan

Park Leumi in Ramat Gan is the second largest park in Tel Aviv next to HaYarkon Park. 


If you want a quick escape from city stress, you don't have to travel far since Park Leumi is just located in the heart of the city - Tel Aviv. An easy place to relax some time alone, or with family and friends. Perfect picnic spots under the shade of the trees while feeling the cool breeze. 

For commuters, from New central bus station Tel aviv you can get to Park Leumi by taking Otobus #31. You should pay 6.60 nis for fare and the Otobus will drop you to the nearest Takana (station) from the park. No Sheruts are passing by this place. Ofcourse for non commuters, transportation will not be a problem since almost everyone that owns a car here in Israel uses GPS. And people who live nearby are just coming by bicycle or by foot, just like what i did. :)


This is how Otobus look like.

Oh Yes!I won't mind standing in the middle of the street. lol


Here we are. This is just a portion of the park since Park Leumi covers an area of 1.9 km2. That's huge right?



I call this love ducks. :))
Everything you could see is man made, planting began in February 1951 and the park opened to the public in 1953. In 1959, this artificial lake was created which was enlarged throughout the years.

From the first time i came to visit and every time i'm on this park, I always find this place as amazing and a perfect place to unwind. There's a whole lot of park that you could visit here in Holy Land, but for me Ramat Gan National Park is incomparable
You could see couple of water fountains in the middle of the lake, that exhibits different colors during night time. <3

Sitting under the 34 degree Celsius sun. :))


Perfect runway for a daytime or even a night time jog.

Group of ducks in the lake which also serves as one of the attraction for the park.  You could also bring bread leftovers to feed these ducks.


Feeling turista lang. ;p

Taking a dose of fresh air.

Very nice spot to view the whole lake.

Lake view at night.
Man made falls.

Group of families enjoying the summer. Who wouldn't love it anyway?

Stage plays, film showings, events are done on this place.


Now let me take you on a quick trip around the park, here are some more pictures. You may want to click the images for a larger view. Hope you enjoy! =)
