Tel Aviv Upgrades Hashkala Boulevard With 52 Trees and a Basalt Path

Tel Aviv-Yafo has upgraded the public space on Hashkala Boulevard in the Bitzaron neighborhood, adding 52 trees and a basalt path. Details of the completed work were disclosed on Saturday evening, November 14, in an account attributed to Deputy Mayor Reuven Ladianski, who is responsible for city improvement. A wall separating the grove from nearby buildings was removed, and a path made of basalt rocks was laid across the lawn. The planting included a combined total of 52 sissoo and citrus trees, alongside ecological landscaping and new street furniture. Ladianski described the work as improving accessibility and continuity through the public space, expanding shade and improving the surroundings. Ladianski thanked the municipal city-improvement division’s staff for planning and carrying out the project. He invited residents of Bitzaron, Ramat Yisrael, Nahalat Yitzhak and Yad Eliyahu, as well as other visitors, to enjoy the renewed space. Hashkala Boulevard also featured in an earlier municipal refurbishment program reported on November 6, 2025. That work renewed playground sections and added equipment on rubber surfacing, shade where natural shade was absent, toddler equipment and sandpit play equipment. It also included swings in different sizes and three hammocks along the boulevard.
