Yamit 2000, Water park in Holon, Israel
Yamit 2000 is a water park in Holon with multiple pools, water slides, and attractions designed for families and different age groups. The facility includes both outdoor areas and heated indoor spaces, along with spa services and fitness facilities.
The park opened in 1991 and became an important recreation destination in the Tel Aviv area. Over time it grew into a major leisure spot for families from surrounding regions.
The park's name changed over time: it opened in 1991 as Yamit 2000, and in the early 2000s it was rebranded as "Sparak HaMayim Yamit", a blend of the Hebrew words for spa and park. The rooftop sign still shows the name Yamit alongside a palm tree graphic.
The 1991 building was designed by Edna and Michael Gilad as a climate-controlled complex, so swimming continues through all seasons rather than only in summer. The site sits in south-east Holon beside Park Peres. The 2011 "World of the Child" zone added pools for children and toddlers with fountains and small waterfalls.
The park's 26 slides include the Space Bowl, where riders spin inside a bowl before dropping into a 2-metre-deep pool, and the Black Hole, a black tube slide with light and dark effects. Six racing slides were added in July 2019, with riders starting together and the first to the bottom winning a prize.
