One of the best places in the city

Night view from Park Hayarkon to TLV Yarkon Park (Hebrew: פארק הירקון‎, Park HaYarkon) is a large park in Tel Aviv, Israel, with about sixteen million visits annually.Named after the Yarkon River which flows through it, the park includes extensive lawns, sports facilities, botanical gardens, an aviary, a water park, two outdoor concert venues and lakes. Planning of the park began in 1969. When it was opened to the public in 1973, it was called Ganei Yehoshua, honoring Yehoshua Rabinovich, the mayor of Tel Aviv between 1969–1974. The park has six gardens: Gan HaBanim (Fallen Soldiers Memorial Garden), Gan Nifga'ei HaTeror (Terror Victims Memorial Garden), Gan HaSlaim (Rock Garden), Gan HaKaktusim (Cacti Garden), HaGan HaGazum (Trimmed Garden), and HaGan HaTropi (Tropical Garden). The Rock Garden, one of the largest of its kind in the world, reflects Israel's geological diversity. In its 10-acre enclosure the rocks are interspersed with some 3,500 species of plants, including over six acres of cacti. The five-acre Tropical Garden has a wooden walkway shaded by palm trees leading to a small lake. The rainforest-like microclimate supports a large variety of orchids and vines. The Yarkon River runs through the park and reaches the Mediterranean Sea at the park's western edge, then connects into the Tel Aviv Port, an entertainment and tourism center. Despite clean-up efforts in the last few years, the river is still polluted. Despite its polluted waters, on July 2011 Tel Aviv's mayor, Ron Huldai, jumped into the water and swam in the lake. Nevertheless, the region has retained its biodiversity. It is home to an abundance of insects, water fowl, golden jackals, porcupines and mongoose.

Beautiful park, extremely expansive with plenty of green space along both side of the Yarkon River. Well paved for walking, biking, jogging. It's equipped with lots of amenities like bathrooms, picnic benches, seating.

One of the most beautiful places I visited in my life

Great place to hang out. For running or walking, picnics, dates. There is plenty of space, grass, the beach is very close. It is clean and the Yarkon river is very nice. Highly recommended for anyone.

Nice to walk around by the river and relax

The beat green spot in tel Aviv, a vast park , with a lake and river passing through it, playground for kids, picnic spots. And bicycle lanes , highly recommended

City Park with a nice walking/running/biking path by the river. There's a children playground, air balloon rides are available. Also some picnic tables by the river bank.

Amazing park to ride a rent bicicle or enjoy the sunset. There is an attraction with a balloon.

The jewel of Tel Aviv - specifically at Corona times

A very big park/surface with a lot of space for outdoor activities. Some parts of it are not kept clean and also public restrooms are very dirty.

This is the "Central Park" of Tel Aviv. Well kept and popular place for fresh air - although for those with sensitive ears - one is never far from the rumble of traffic from nearby Rokach Blvd. Free and mostly clean toilets. Fresh drinking water. Well marked bike paths. The best that Israel has to offer and a pleasant experience.

Great place to take a walk or ride bicycle

Really nice park a lot of fun to rent scooters and ride around.

The meeting place for the tour buses and for all forms of exercises.

Great place to go on a sunny day. Don't forget to bring food with you

Big open space, beautiful landscape, plenty of space for family b.b.q. Row boats, speed boats, pedal boats for hire. Bike trails, walking trails, cactus garden, and many more gardens.

Definitely relaxing and spacious. Great breeze, some boats for rent to go on the river, tons of playgrounds for kids, and outdoor gyms. And lots of dogs 🐶 & ducks 🦆 around. Mostly clean. A wonderful place for sure 👍

Beautiful place to go with the family. nice view and great place to go cycle highly recommend visiting.

Basically the green heart of Tel Aviv, great for kids, work out, activities, so much fun
