Park Promenade - Tel Baruch Beach
After years of work and investment, the boardwalk in the coastal park was opened to the public about four months ago.
The boardwalk, which is located between Tel Baruch beach to the south and the cliff beach to the north and is about two kilometers long, constitutes the missing section linking the sequence of the coastal boardwalk from Bat Yam to Herzliya.
The coastal park promenade is the first phase of a 500 dunam nature park that allows the public access to an impressive coastal kurkar ridge, providing a unique experience of spectacular landscapes with a view of the coastline and an encounter with local flora and fauna.
The boardwalk has another important role, being a place of refuge and peace for residents from the busy city life.
These days, the municipality is also working on establishing a visitor center, which will be built on an area that was previously used as a military base.

Ron Huldai - "Tel Aviv-Jaffa, as you know, was planned and established as a garden city"/official website, Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality Spokesperson
The Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Ron Huldai: "Tel Aviv-Yafo, as you know, was planned and established as a garden city. Indeed, it has many beautiful, incredibly green corners, while at the same time one of the areas we emphasize is expanding the city's green lungs and opening More and more new public spaces for the public use of residents and visitors to the city.
For example, the projects of expanding the Park of the Groves, which is the most significant green space in the south of the city, and the establishment of a museum garden, which brings with it the perception that culture and art are a central part of the life of the city, and therefore both must exist in its public spaces, and not only within the institutions and buildings themselves.
At the same time, we completed the urban vision of a series of promenades that allow walking, running and cycling from the border of Herzliya in the north to the border of Bat Yam in the south.
An open, unobstructed view of the sea was one of the first goals I set for myself when I took office and it was realized with the opening of the public spaces we have along the coast;
The coastal park boardwalk, Redding Park and the community center for water sports, which are added to the central beach boardwalk that was renovated several years ago, to the renovated Jaffa port and the Jaffa Slope Park, which was transformed from a site of construction waste and garbage into a green park overlooking the wonderful sea of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
I invite all residents of the city - come to parks and gardens throughout the city with your children, friends or family for a picnic, recreation, physical activity or just to relax."
