Neve Tzedek
Our first court is located in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo near Neve Tzedek. It was established in cooperation with the Tel Aviv Municipality, Nirlat paint company, and “Shanti House” – a warm home for unprivileged youth,which is located near the court. The youth took an active part in the painting and in the process of setting up the field .
“Deconstructed court” – design by adi nachum.
Based on the geometric shapes from the original layout of the classic court and gives tribute to the original design by changing the arrangement and exploring the colors between each shapes combination.
Park HaYarkon
This court marks the second piece of the Splash Project, initiated by Liam Shrem with the goal of connecting community, sports, and art through the creation of designed courts open to the public. Originally designed by Jonathan Katav in 2022, this court is a continuation of Liam’s vision.
“One Earth” – design by Jonathan Katav.
Tragically, Liam was killed by Hamas terrorists in the Nova Party Massacre on October 7, 2023. In the aftermath, the future of the Splash Project was uncertain. However, Liam’s mother, Simona Shrem, took over the project, assembling a team to bring this court to life.
Situated on the edge of the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, an area known for its increasingly polluted water and the site of the 1997 Maccabiah disaster where three athletes died due to infections from the river water, this court carries a powerful message. The design, titled “One Earth,” is meant to provoke thoughts on unity and sustainability, resonating with the location and the core intention of the Splash Project: connecting communities through sport and art.
Since Liam’s death on October 7th, “One Earth” has taken on an additional meaning, symbolizing solidarity, peace, and an appreciation for the colorful moments in life.
