Near the climbing wall is a skate park, basketball courts and trampolines. Ultimate Frisbee matches are held here at 16:45 every Friday and at 16:30 Saturday. North of the Sportek, across Namir Rd, the young and the young at heart will enjoy Mini Golf(www.minigolf.co.il).

The cable car runs up to the monastery from Bat Galim Promenade below, not far from Elijah's Cave and the nearby museums.
