Please note: According to KKL (update from 14.7.2026), the Yad Kennedy memorial is closed to visitors due to safety issues. The forest and parking lot are open.
At Yad Kennedy, there is a large memorial structure (covered), surrounded by benches and views of the green Jerusalem Hills. Yad Kennedy has restrooms and parking, and is open from 8:00–16:00. (The Piano Lookout = Arthur Rubinstein Lookout is on the other side of the access road, Route 3877). You can walk down along the blue trail markers from Yad Kennedy toward a grove of trees with benches. Experienced hikers are welcome to continue from the grove along the green trail markers to the Jerusalem Springs Trail.
