Ariel Sharon Park
Ariel Sharon Park (Hebrew: פארק אריאל שרון) is an Israeli environmental park. Situated along the lines of the Ayalon River in the area between Ben Gurion Airport and Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway), the area was intended to be the "green lung" of the southern part of the Gush Dan metropolitan area. The park was established on the former Hiriya (Hebrew: חירייה) landfill located southeast of Tel Aviv, and encompasses Menachem Begin Park, Mikveh Israel village, and the former Shalem Farm. The landfill and its surrounding area have been renovated into a large park that is still under construction.
