Train Track Park (Jerusalem)
edit
... that 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) of walking and biking trails (pictured) built over the historic Jaffa–Jerusalem railway tracks has been cited as a symbol of Arab-Jewish coexistence?

(A green boulevard connects various neighborhoods in Jerusalem and manages to bring together different communities, so that in the same strip you can find Jews and Arabs, ultra-Orthodox and secular who manage to enjoy a bit of nature together) Walla!); "הפארק, יוזמה קהילתית שגברה על יוזמות להקמת כביש, חוצה שכונות יהודיות ושכונה ערבית אחת, ובזכותו נוצר מפגש של תושבים שונים בתנועה, רצים, ...צועדים, רוכבים, מטיילים עם הכלב" (The park, a community initiative that has overcome initiatives to erect a roadway, crosses Jewish neighborhoods and one Arab neighborhood, creating a meeting point between different residents pursuing activities, running, walking, cycling, strolling with the dog...)

- It's not clear that the walking and bike trails are separate. Perhaps this is a better option:

... that a grassroots initiative to turn the abandoned Jaffa–Jerusalem railway tracks into an urban park resulted in the creation of Jerusalem's 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) long Train Track Park (pictured)?Yoninah (talk) 13:18, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

This passes. I like ALT1 hook best, only because I favor getting the article link as close to the beginning of the hook as possible. But ALT2 also works. Struck the original hook, since you expressed concern about its clarity. Thank you for writing this. It was really nice to read about this park. Giving two ticks to cover both the English language and non-English sourcing. — Maile (talk) 22:18, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
