- Address: Sderot Hativat HaNegev 32, Eilat, Israel.
Unlike the picturesque latitudes of the Galilee valley and the Mediterranean coast, drowning in the greenery, the southern part of Israel , where the popular resort is located, Eilat , can not boast of blooming landscapes. But this does not mean that in the city, as in the surrounding desert, it is just as gloomy and gray. In Eilat, there are many parks and gardens, and one of the most popular is Gan Fradkin Park. Here people like to rest not only the locals, but also the numerous guests of the city.
A bit about the park itself
The first thing to note is the successful location of the Gan Fradkin Park. It is located in the central part of the city, in a busy area with many hotels, away from the hot coast. If you look at the map of the city, it seems that from the main Eilat Molla Ha-Yam to the north stretches one large park area. In fact, these are two different parks: Gan Fradkin and Gan Binyamin.
Gan Fradkin is one of the few Eilat parks that can boast such a wide variety of locations for a varied holiday. Shady squares become a real salvation from the daytime heat, in the evenings it is also fun and interesting.
For children there is a large playground with slides, swings and carousels. Mommies with very small crumbs can sit on cozy benches a little further away or take a stroll with a stroller along the quiet palm alley.
On green lawns, young companies are often arranged, spreading rugs, playing various games or simply communicating.
In the park of Gan Fradkin there are city picnics, amateur concerts, festivals, sports competitions, various recreational activities for children and adults. There is a summer stage for performances of artists. Here they also conduct film shows, show cartoons, install a large projector and sound equipment.
On the territory of the park there are street food trays, a bistro and a café with a summer playground where you can have a snack. Within a radius of several hundred meters there are several good institutions with delicious cuisine:
- Chocolate Pie Bakery & Cafe (confectionery);
- Il Pentolino (cafe of Italian cuisine);
- Itzik Shawarma (Greek restaurant);
- Omer's (fastfoot-fumata cafe);
- Little Brazil (Latin American cuisine restaurant).
But the park Gan Fradkin come not only to have fun and relax. There is a special place, where it is always quiet and a little sad. This is a memorial complex with several sculptural compositions, memorable plates and steles. It is dedicated to the tragic events of the Second World War. The memorial gathers veterans and ordinary tourists who are interested in the history of the past.
