Park Hayarkon

Great piece of nature in the urban center of Tel Aviv. Our favorite area in the park is the more wild section near Har Napoleon and Sheva Tahanot (Seven Mills), next to the boating lake and hot air balloon. It's fun to take a long walk all the way from the Ayalon mall in the east to the Tel Aviv port. There is a lot of wildlife in the park, including many types of birds and even packs of jackals.

We also often do a loop starting from the bird sanctuary near the junction with the Ayalon River, across the bridges at Rosh Tzipor where the two rivers meet, eastward along the northern side of the River, then back across to the southern riverbank at Sheva Tahanot and westward again to the starting point at the edge of the Haruzim neighborhood in Ramat Gan.
