Ariel Sharon Park, also known as Hiriya Recycling Park, offers a unique ecological and recreational experience built upon a former landfill site near Tel Aviv. The park is generally accessible by car and public transport, with paved paths and visitor centers suitable for most, though some natural trails might be less accessible for wheelchairs. While solo exploration is possible, guided tours are highly recommended to fully appreciate the park's remarkable transformation, sustainability initiatives, and art installations, often requiring pre-booking. The park is open year-round, though cooler months are preferable for outdoor activities due to hot Israeli summers; always check for specific seasonal hours. Entrance to the park is typically free, but guided tours usually incur a fee. A typical visit, especially with a guided tour, lasts approximately 2-4 hours, offering panoramic views of Tel Aviv, walking and cycling paths, and unique environmental education insights. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
