Peres park, Public park in Holon, Israel.
Peres Park is a public park in Holon covering 300 dunam (roughly 30 hectares) with sports courts, walking trails, and recreational facilities across the grounds. The space features landscaped green areas and vegetated zones designed for different types of outdoor activity.
Peres Park is named after Shimon Peres and covers 300 dunam in southeastern Holon, bordering the Yammit 2000 water park to the west and the Kiryat Sharet industrial zone to the east. The Children's Museum of Holon stands at its centre. In 2013 the Ice Peaks ice rink opened in the eastern sports compound, and in March 2015 the Toto Holon Arena, the city's sports hall, was inaugurated.
The park is named after Shimon Peres. Its western part centres on a 200-metre-long artificial lake with a rock waterfall at its northern end, where rowing boats are rented out. Beside the lake stands a grass-covered theatre seating 7,000 spectators, and beyond it a palm grove with picnic and seating corners.
The park is split into three parts: the western section around the 200-metre artificial lake with its rock waterfall, restaurants and pedestrian bridge to the Children's Museum; the northern grove with shaded seating and accessible playground equipment; and the eastern Sportek with football and basketball courts, a roller-skating surface and fitness equipment. The lake, LaPark and the Toto Holon arena sit close together, so the grounds can be crossed on foot.
The park's eastern section, next to the Kiryat Sharet bus terminal, holds the 30-dunam Sportek with football and basketball courts, a roller-skating surface, table-tennis tables and fitness equipment. The Ice Peaks ice rink opened there in 2013 and hosts the central division games of the Israeli ice hockey league.
