North Tel Aviv is the wealthiest area of the city, and one of the wealthiest places in all of Israel. This area extends from the northern border of the city to the Yarkon River. This region is very green, quiet, and suburban compared to the rest of Tel Aviv. The Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv University, and some important museums are located here.

The largest public park in Tel Aviv. The Yarkon River runs through the park, and spills into the Mediterranean Sea. The park is an excellent place for physical activities of all kinds - walking, jogging, cycling, kissing, etc. You can also come and join a game of football/basketball at almost any time. The park is clean (but the river is not; do not swim!) and except for a few small parts is very well lit at night. One unique local custom is to tie balloons to the trees to claim a spot for picnics or parties later in the day. It is possible to rent a canoe on the river.
