Edith Wolfson Park is a must see park located on top a hill, on the border between Tel Aviv and Givataim. Edith Wolfson was the wife of Izik Wolfson, a philanthropist and a Jewish-British businessman. They both contributed to the establishment of the park.

The park has large grass areas, different trees and plants, playground, picnic areas and a small lake. The park was opened in 1976.

On top of the hill and in the middle of the park there is a square with different geometrical statues. Some are hybrid with plants too. The statues were formed by the artist Danny Caravan, as appreciation for Tel Aviv pioneers. From the hill, there’s a nice view of Tel Aviv, and if you come at day time, you can climb up the stairs of the high statue and get an even more nicer view.

The park address is Derech Hatayasim 8, Tel Aviv, very near to Ort Singalovski Highschool.
It’s Located where these 3 roads meet: Derech Hashalom, Derech Hatayasim, La-Guardia. Get Directions on Google Maps.
