Independence Park was a centrally located, 12-acre area planted in 1958 by the South African Zionist Federation to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel. The Jerusalem Foundation placed several sculptures in the park over the years. The Jerusalem Foundation carried out a major renovation in 1996 to create a center for leisure activities and to open the park visually and functionally to the surrounding city. The park features an undulating, grassy central space and waterways that lead down to the Mamilla Pool, a reservoir mentioned in writings dating as far back as the Romans, which is thought to have provided part of the Old City's water supply.

The scope of work included consultant coordination, overseeing design and permitting process, liaison with City officials and committees, co-ordination of bid documents, tender analysis, supervision, and systematic budging control.

The Jerusalem Foundation created Liberty Bell Garden to pay tribute to the ties between the people of Israel and the U.S. in 1976, the American bicentennial year. The park was planned as a center for recreational activities with a replica of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell at its center. In 1999, a $2 million renovation project of the heavily used park and several gardens, play areas and performance spaces have been renovated since.

The scope of work included consultant coordination, overseeing design and permitting process, liaison with City officials and committees, co-ordination of bid documents, tender analysis, supervision, and systematic budging control.

The Goldman Promenade is a mile (1.6 km) -long promenade that extends the Haas Promenade toward the Judean desert to the east. The promenade blends with the scenic woodland in which it is located (no trees were cut down to create the promenade and all new plantings are indigenous varieties.) The fully wheelchair accessible promenade includes winding trails, a lookout pavilion, amphitheater, picnic area and remnants of a 3,000 year-old aqueduct. It is situated in and around the "Hill of Evil" Counsel or Government House Hill, which is where, according to Jewish tradition, Abraham first saw Mount Moriah; where a Hasmonean (Maccabi) settlement flourished in the 1st Century CE; where the High Priest Caiphus lived and plotted with the Romans against Jesus, and where the British built the stately High Commissioner's Residence in the 1920s (today it serves as the United Nations Observer Force headquarters).

The scope of work included consultant coordination, overseeing design and permitting process, liaison with City officials and committees, co-ordination of bid documents, tender analysis, supervision, and systematic budging control.
