Teddy Park: The Mitchell Parks & Gardens

Teddy Park, located below the walls of the Old City and adjacent to the Hutzot HaYotzer Artist Colony, is a centrally located haven of peace in Jerusalem. Named in honor of former mayor Teddy Kollek and donor Jan Mitchell, the park features beautiful landscaping, running water, and interactive fountains. A key attraction is the scheduled water, music, and light show, particularly popular in the evenings. The park also includes a small visitor center detailing the development of Jerusalem during Kollek's tenure.
