À propos du lieu

A massive former waste mound anchors an ambitious regional green lung southeast of the main metropolis.

Ariel Sharon Park transforms a massive historical waste dump into an expansive ecological park. The vast territory sits along the Ayalon River corridor between the primary airport and the central highway. The surrounding boundaries incorporate Menachem Begin Park, the agricultural village of Mikveh Israel, and the historical Shalem Farm into a unified open space that continues ongoing development.

The elevated hill once accumulated immense urban waste, causing severe groundwater contamination, noxious gas emissions, and flock hazards for approaching aircraft. Following public health protests and aviation safety concerns, dumping ceased entirely. The Dan Region Association of Towns manages the grounds, operating specialized facilities at the base that process green mulch, building materials, and sorted refuse.
