The replica bell in Liberty Bell Park

Liberty Bell Park (Hebrew: גן פעמון הדרור‎, Gan Pa'amon HaDror), is a park in Jerusalem containing a replica of the Liberty Bell from which it gets its name. It is located near the Talbiyeh, German Colony, and Yemin Moshe neighborhoods.

Founded in 1976 to celebrate the USA's bicentennial and covering 9 acres, it is the most popular park in the city.[1][2] It include sports facilities, a picnic area, a 1,000-seat amphitheater, a music corner and areas for exhibitions, folk dancing and performances.[2]

The Train Theater, a children's puppet theater, is housed in an old railway carriage at the northern end of Liberty Bell Park.[3]
