Ashdod Travelers guide

Ashdod | Sightseeing 142 The tour begins at the Pirate Park at Mei-Ami beach, the northernmost of the city's beaches. When you arrive from the parking lot, you will not be able to miss the main attractions of the park - a large pirate ship installation that can keep the children occupied for a long time. In the complex there is a wide variety of playground facilities for kids, including swings, 35-meter-long slides, and a huge pyramid made of climbing ropes. Try to take your children away from the playground facilities and return to the parking lot. Now you can continue by car to the next stop on your tour : Lachish Park Ashdod (LP"A) . The magnificent park, built in 1996 on the southern bank of the Lachish stream, as part of the rehabilitation work on the stream, covers an area of about 160 acres. During its construction an emphasis was placed on maintaining the ecological balance, so that a large part of the park's natural vegetation remained intact while other sections were cultivated, with added shaded seating areas, green lawns, a bird-watching area, a beautiful promenade, and large stone statues.
