Gan Sacher, Jerusalem

Gan Sacher is a large strip of green parkland separating government buildings such as the Supreme Court and Knesset from the neighbourhood of Nahlaot on the other side of Ben Zvi Boulevard. The Park contains the Bonsho which is a large Japanese bell presented to the city as a symbol of everlasting peace. It is engraved with the quote, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee as well". The park's wide, flat lawns are ideal for picnics, sunbathing and sports. There is also a rollerskating area, basketball court, football court, cycle path and children's play area.
