Ariel Sharon Park, Metropolitan park in Bik'at Ono, Israel
Description
Ariel Sharon Park is a large green space east of Tel Aviv built on reclaimed industrial land, now offering trails, viewpoints and water features. The site covers around 2000 acres and connects open meadows with developed recreation zones for walking and cycling.
History
The area was used as a landfill from 1952 and known as Hiriya until disposal ended in 1998 and conversion into a park began. The transformation took several years and gradually turned the mound into a publicly accessible recreation site with planted slopes.
Culture
The park contains the Mikveh Israel agricultural school, Shalem Farm, and a visitor center displaying multimedia exhibits about the area's transformation.
Practical
The park opens daily in the morning and entry is free, though some sections may be temporarily closed for ongoing restoration work. Visitors should bring plenty of water, as shaded spots are still limited in the southern part.
Did you know?
An artificial hill made from compacted material forms the center of the park and offers wide views across the surrounding land to the coast. The elevated position regularly attracts migrating birds that stop here on their routes between Europe and Africa.
