Children participated in a Scarecrow Festival at the 3250-acre Yarkon National Park that lies between Tel Afek (Antipatris) and the Morasha interchange. The park has two main attractions: Tel Afek and its Ottoman-period fortress, Binar Bashi, overlooking the springs of the Yarkon River; and the area around the sources of the Yarkon River, which boasts a wealth of flora and fauna.06/23/08
