Charles Clore Garden

The Charles Clore Garden perfectly complements Tel Aviv’s shoreline. After undergoing a two-year renovation, this seaside park has it all. The green lawns juxtaposed with the sand and sea make it a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Spread over 30 acres, the park, named after the British Jewish philanthropist who originally established it in the 1970s, is located just south of the Dolphinarium and stretches until Jaffa. It also makes for the perfect getaway for beach-going families who are seeking an alternative to the sand and matkot (the popular Israeli beach game involving paddles and speeding balls). The park has a great playground including a rope pyramid and water fountains that kids – and adults – love to dart around in when the heat sets in. While the kids are splashing around, Mom and Dad can also exercise at the yoga platform or on one of the outdoor gym machines. The park is also decked out with barbecue areas. If you fancy injecting a little culture into the day, have a wander around the park’s sculpture garden which includes work by renowned Israeli artist and sculptor, Ilana Goor. Alternatively, you can always pay a visit to The Etzel Museum located in the south area of the park near Alma Beach. The museum features one of the three military organizations that led Israel to independence.
