is an open space of 260 dunams in the heart of Jerusalem, Israel, on the edge of the Givat Mordechai neighborhood, opposite the busy Patt Intersection

It is named after a herd of 17 gazelles that lived in this area, bounded by urban development.

 Real estate developers have sought building rights in the area, but the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) and local activists have fought to preserve the natural surroundings. 

After lengthy court battles, the Jerusalem Municipality has drawn up plans to turn the area into a public park and nature reserve.

In January 2013, work began on the park, which is described as Israel’s first urban wild nature reserve.

The highlights of the park will be a pack of about 30 wild gazelles, which roam freely throughout the grounds, as well as luscious green landscape. The design include: 5 natural and man-made ponds, two streams, several posts for observing the various natural wildlife that inhabits the park, two visitors' centers and a man-made island.
