Yarkon Park: along both banks of the river

From the Reading West car park by the mouth of the Yarkon river in Tel Aviv, ride east on the cycle path along the north bank of Yarkon Park (פארק הירקון), under the bridges and past the lawns and rowing clubs. Cross the river on the footbridge near Rokach Boulevard and come back west along the south bank past the Sportek and its sports fields to the river mouth by Tel Aviv Port, then cross back over the bridge to the car park.

It is 5.1 km round and flat; allow about half an hour of riding. The grade is Easy: level paved paths, with walking and cycling lanes kept apart on long stretches.

The paths are busy with walkers, runners and electric bikes at weekends: keep to the cycle lane and ride slowly on shared paths and bridges. The ride can be stretched further east into Ganei Yehoshua on more park paths.

The park is free. Tel Aviv University station is about 1.5 km from the eastern end, and several city buses cross the park on Namir Road and Rokach Boulevard.
