This reserve lies between Kohnstamm, Lipski, Biltmore and Moshe, in the same general area as the reserve in the first of this series (locate them both here).
It is less formal - or, at least, not comprehensively paved like the aforementioned space, but does feature two children's playgrounds (presumably for slightly differing age groups): one is fenced, and one open.
In my short time in Tel Aviv I have observed that many residents own dogs - often quite large ones - who presumably spend their days in apartments. It is not surprising then that any potential place to walk one's dog - aside from the pavement - is treasured. This reserve includes a dog walking compound: during my short visit there on 7 September 2011 a woman entered the space (the only human I saw use it in that time) and took her dog directly to the fenced area, then sat at a bench with plastic bag in hand. A dog walker advertises his/her services on a nearby bin. In my brief experience of this space however the real users are cats, who loll around in the sand in the part of the reserve that allows them maximum surveillance of the patch.
