The beauty of the Yarqon Park in Tel Aviv is increased by the Yarqon river which passes through the park. The last leg of the river flows through the park and pours into the Mediterranean Sea at the west end of the park itself. It is not advisable to swim or fish in the river since efforts are still going on to make it pollution free as far as possible. Still the area around the river's estuary is a very good place to hang around. The place has the inactive harbor of Tel Aviv with some good restaurants, pubs, shops and dance clubs.
