Details

• Picnic area and playground – the park is intended mainly for recreation and tourism, and therefore includes a large expanse of lawns, picnic tables under the shade of the trees, toilets and water faucets, and play apparatus for the enjoyment of children and their parents. The apparatus is accessible for people with disabilities. Music and cultural events are held here throughout the year, attracting large audiences.
• Crusader fortress and remains of an agricultural farm – in the southern part of the park is a fortified building from the Crusader period, which appears to have served a farm. The ancient remains have been taken care of and preserved, adding a mysterious and magical historical aspect to the park.
• Recycled flow of stream water – a closed system collects the spring water flowing through the streambed of Kesalon Stream and brings it back to the starting point. This system is intended to prevent the stream from drying up during rainless winters and drought years.
• Path to the burial cave – a circular walking trail leading to the First Temple era burial cave. The cave is to the south of the stream.
