Gazelle Valley Park, a sprawling 20-hectare oasis, provides visitors with a rare opportunity to encounter a herd of endangered Mountain Gazelles. This urban natural treasure offers a unique and serene experience, blending wildlife with city life.

The conditions in the park are very similar to the wild: The Gazelles huddle together when it's cold, tend their fawns, battle for territories, and mark them in various ways. The Gazelles share the park with dozens of species of birds, animals, insects, flowers, and plants, maintaining a natural, diverse ecosystem.

You can walk along the paths between the lake and ponds, orchards, observation points, and shady corners for sitting under the trees – a place to relax from the pace of the city within the town.
The park is open from morning till dusk. It is a public space with free entrance, so there is no need to coordinate arrival in advance.
During holidays, the Gazelle Valley offers a variety of activities for families free of charge. 

What can you find at the Gazelle Valley Park?

  • Seasonal blooms and shaded corners are suitable for picnics.
  • Observation decks that overlook the valley are suitable for group activities.
  • A large lake that attracts kingfishers, herons, swifts, and many other birds. You can borrow binoculars at the visitors' center.
  • An abundance of animals, including insects, reptiles, and birds.

    Take the kids to see the gazelles upclose. The younger animals were born into the park and are not human shy, so you can get some great photos. And there’s a large open air shaded deck with benches and puff pillows where...
