Fodor's Review:

This park is a strip of emerald tranquility in the midst of the hustle-bustle. Located in the northern part of town, it's the place where Tel Avivians go to stretch out on the grass for a picnic or a nap in the shade. For those seeking more activity, a long walk on one of its paths to renting a pedal boat, or rowboat (NIS 60per hour) and motorboats (NIS 80, per half-hour) to ply the Yarkon Stream or the park's artificial lake. There are even pleasure boats, which take up to 100 people for 20-minute rides (NIS 12, per person). Bicycles or tandems that take up to six people (NIS 45 per half-hour) are great for family fun, as are the kids' play areas, that are a great place to meet young Israeli families.
