פארק המים שפיים, Water park in Shefayim, Israel
Shefayim Water Park is a water park in Kibbutz Shefayim, covering about 60 dunams with more than 20 water installations and attractions. It grew around the kibbutz swimming pool built in 1975, beside which two 90-metre winding slides were erected on an artificial hill. Among its facilities are the Storm slides, the Kamikaze slide, a slalom course, a wave pool, a children's area with a tipping water bucket, and a pirate ship in a pool.
The facility opened in 1983 as one of the first large-scale water attractions of its kind in Israel. Its establishment marked the beginning of a new form of recreational entertainment that became widespread across the country in subsequent decades.
The park serves as a social gathering spot where Israeli families come together during hot months, bringing people from across the country to share summer activities. You can see how locals use the pools as a meeting place where multiple generations spend time together.
The park sits next to Kibbutz Shefayim, and a motor park with a karting track opened beside it in September 2006 but closed after a few months because its noise exceeded permitted levels and disturbed residents of nearby Arsuf. Plan around the summer season, when the slides and pools operate.
The wave pool added in 1987 was the first of its kind in Israel, built for 850,000 dollars. The park's pirate area is a pirate ship sitting in a pool, listed among the attractions as the pirates compound. The park opened in 1983 with two winding 90-metre slides on an artificial hill beside the kibbutz swimming pool.
