Bike paths at Tel Ashkelon National Park: routes for the whole family
Tel Ashkelon National Park is managed by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and combines the ancient city walls, a nature park and a beach. Modern bike paths, walking trails and wide sidewalks run along the promenade.
One popular route is a loop along the city's ancient ramparts, accessible on foot or by bike; a few short stretches have deep sand that's harder to ride through. The routes are suitable for kids on bikes too, making the park a convenient spot for a family weekend outing.
Admission to the park is paid, but Ashkelon residents enter free. For visit conditions and current trail status, you can call *3639 or email gl.ashkelon@npa.org.il.
