Basic Information

Eco Park is a municipal park in the city of Hadera. The park was inaugurated in 2017 and covers 72 acres. The park is located in the eastern part of Hadera, in the section between the city center and the Beit Eliezer neighborhood.

Sarig-Waxman Landscape Architecture designed the park. The cornerstone for the park was laid in April 2015. 32 million NIS were invested in the construction.

The park was built according to ecological principles. Thus, it was designed to preserve the surface runoff to reduce irrigation in the park, and cost-effective LED lighting was installed.

The park has play facilities, interactive play facilities, an artificial lake with ornamental fish, an adventurous bike path, and a high vantage point overlooking the park. The park is planted with about 300 citrus trees that characterize Hadera’s past. Admission to the park is free, and you have to pay for the parking on all days of the week.

We visited on a Saturday morning, and there were many people at most facilities. And as you can see, they continue constructing residential buildings around the park. Thus in the future, there will be even more people.
