About
Ma'ayan Harod National Park is a public park in Israel administered by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority that contains the spring known as Ma'ayan Harod or Ain Jalut that now feeds a recreational swimming pool, as well as the house and tomb of Yehoshua Hankin.
The house of Hankin has become a museum showing historical artifacts and life-size mannequins of the couple Hankin. Next to the museum is a war memorial for residents of the valley who died in Israel's wars.
The park has been described as "well maintained", but visitors to the site "have absolutely no way of knowing that one of the climactic battles of the Middle Ages was fought in it" (referring to the Battle of Ain Jalut).
