פארק אקולוגי גלילות, Urban nature park between Tel Aviv and Ramat HaSharon, Israel
The Ecological Park is a nature reserve between Tel Aviv and Ramat HaSharon with forests, wetlands, and multiple water sources. The grounds feature marked trails, small ponds, and densely vegetated areas that support various animal species.
The grounds contain ancient caves known as the Afeka Caves, indicating significance in the region's archaeological history. This site has been visited by people over thousands of years and shows long-standing human presence in the area.
The park serves as a learning space where visitors can observe local plants and animals in their natural setting. People come here to watch birds and discover the various water-dependent species that thrive in the wetlands.
The park is easy to explore on foot or by bike, with well-maintained paths that are accessible for most visitors. It is best visited on days with moderate temperatures to make the walk enjoyable.
The Ahiya Stream flows through the grounds and creates special living conditions for uncommon plants like narcissus and Israeli iris. This water source allows certain plant species to grow that are difficult to find elsewhere in the region.
