The Palms Ground (Hebrew: מגרש הדקלים) was a football ground in the Florentin neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Israel. The ground was first known as Maccabi Ground and later as Hapoel Ground, but was nicknamed Palms Ground after the palms surrounding it.
The ground was built in the early 1920s for use of Maccabi Tel Aviv, which played in the ground until its lease was over and the club built a new ground in south-east Tel Aviv.[1] In 1929 Hapoel Tel Aviv, recently merged with Allenby football club, moved to play at the ground. However, due to security concerns, arising from the proximity of the ground to Jaffa, Hapoel moved to a new ground in 1941,[2] after which the ground was abandoned and was built over.[3]
