Jerusalem Walls National Park (also known as Jerusalem Walls-City of David National Park) is an Israeli national park which surrounds—but does not include—the ancient walls and gates of the Old City of Jerusalem. Development of the park started soon after Israel gained control of East Jerusalem in 1967, and was meant to create a green belt space around the old city to demarcate the ancient from the modern and prevent development from encroaching too close to the walls.
The national park includes the site of the City of David on the southern end and connects to the Emek Tzurim National Park on the north-east part.
