Yarkon

Yarkon can refer to several things. The most prominent is the Yarkon River, also known as the Yarqon or Jarkon. This is a river in central Israel that flows into the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second-largest river in Israel by volume of water and is a major source of drinking water for the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and the surrounding region. The Yarkon River basin is densely populated and has a significant ecological and historical importance.

Another common usage of Yarkon is in reference to the Yarkon Park, also called Ganei Yehoshua. This is a large urban park located in Tel Aviv, Israel, situated on the banks of the Yarkon River. It is one of the largest public parks in Israel and a popular destination for recreation, sports, and cultural events. The park features walking and cycling paths, sports facilities, a petting zoo, and botanical gardens.

The term "Yarkon" can also be used as a surname. There are individuals with this last name, though it is not as widely known as the river or the park. Additionally, there might be less common or local references to "Yarkon" in specific contexts that are not globally recognized.
