Coming2Israel.com - City Parks Of Israel

Tel Aviv City Parks:

HaYarkon Park: Although, certainly not Central Park, the HaYarkon park is an amazing oasis in the north end of Tel Aviv.  If you have time for a visit to only one park in Tel Aviv, this is the one to go to.  For more information, follow the links below: Wikipedia HaYarkon Park Link Wikipedia HaYarkon Park Google Maps Link Showing HaYarkon Park: Google Maps HaYarkon Park  The green swath running left and right below Rokach Boulevard is the park. Hiriya - Soon To Be The Ariel Sharon Park: As you drive into Tel Aviv from Ben Gurion Airport or Jerusalem on Route 1, you cannot help but notice a rather large mound on the right side iof the highway.  There was also a time that you could not help but smell the odor coming from this mound.  This mound was site was a former waste dump for the city of Tel Aviv.  It has been closed in 1998 and plans are underway to turn the site in to a park.  Check out the Wikipedia web page for more information.  Once completed the park should be three times the size of New York’s Central park.
