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 includes sports facilities, a picnic area, a 1,000-seat amphitheater, a music corner and areas for exhibitions, folk dancing and performances.[2]
The park features Jerry the Dragon, a concrete play sculpture by Ulrik Plesner, the Danish-born Israeli architect who designed the park.[3]
The Train Theater, a children's puppet theater, is housed in an old railway carriage at the northern end of Liberty Bell Park.[4]
