About Gonda Park:

Also known as Leslie and Susan Gonda Park.

*גינת גונדה בעברית

Leslie was born a Goldschmidt, but he was forced to change his name to Gonda to hide his Jewish identity and escape the Nazis during World War II.

Together with his wife Susan, who survived Auschwitz-Birkenau, they emigrated to Venezuela and then to the City of Angels (LA), where they built their successful airliner leasing company business. Throughout their lives, the Gonda family contributed to many institutions in the United States and Israel, including a center for senior citizens located near the park that bears their name. It is not mentioned in any source, but I believe that the Gondas wanted to provide the Holocaust survivors in the neighborhood with a green and calming view that did not require a long stroll.

How to get there:
Gonda Park is located on HaHayil Boulevard in Tel-Aviv, between the streets Winston Churchill and Aryeh Altman. You can easily get there on foot or by bike if you live in the city. The park is a beautiful green space that provides a calming view of the neighborhood. It features a stunning pagoda-like structure, I call it ‘The Pagonda’.
