Development of the Ayalon flood plain into a park

The Park Ariel Sharon will evolve from the wide river plain of the Ayalon. A carefully built topography is to effect both: protection of the town from being flooded in winter and development of a public near-natural park.

• The heart of the park will come into being through excavation of 7 million of cubic metres of soil: within the huge retention basin the “Wide Wild Wadi” will be developed similar to a primeval forest.
• Gently sloping terraces built from excavation material and covered with “agricultural patterns”, are forming the second major landscape element.
• In – between the Wadi and the terraces, promenades, places, lakes and other park elements are forming the “Human Corridor”.

Together with the newly created landscape on the Hiriya Mountain, there emerges a park with several layers.
