Jaffa Slope

Jaffa Slope, Public park in Jaffa district, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Jaffa Slope is a 200-dunam coastal park stretching about a kilometre from Jaffa Port south to Givat Aliya beach, up to 300 metres wide and 15 metres above sea level. It has three observation mounds, a sunken amphitheatre on the middle one, north-south and east-west footpaths, a promenade between the lawn and the sandy shore, and a cycle path along its eastern edge beside Ajami.

The site served from late 1969 as a construction-waste dump that dried out the shoreline; public protest and a High Court petition led Tel Aviv to close it in 1988, though illegal dumping continued. In 2003 the army added stabilising material and placed a Patriot missile battery there. Work on the park began in December 2005, most construction ended in 2008, and it opened on 30 April 2010, costing 60 million shekels.

The park's Hebrew name, Midron Yafo, refers to the slope itself. Its planning involved about 300 local residents and groups including the Jaffa-Yafot Yamim association, scout troops, Jewish neighbourhood activists and representatives of the Arab community, who were consulted through the Jaffa administration. The sunken amphitheatre on the central of the three observation mounds hosts gatherings.

Multiple entrance points along the slope allow access from both the upper and lower areas. The terrain is walkable throughout, though the incline may be challenging for those with limited mobility.

The park was built on a waste site that received 1,275,000 tons of construction debris, which was sorted on site and partly reused in building the park. Some of the rubbish hills were flattened or lowered to open a sightline between the city and the sea.
