The Petah Tikva-Kiryat Aryeh railway station is a suburban passenger railway station in Israel, operated by Israel Railways. It is located in the northern Kiryat Aryeh business area and industrial zone of Petah Tikva, and mainly serves commuters from other towns who work in Petah Tikva. The station is adjacent to HaMoshava Stadium. It consists of a passenger hall and two side platforms serving two tracks on the Yarkon Railway. Space exists to allow converting the far side platform to an island platform, allowing the station to serve a total of three tracks in the future. As of 2020, the Tel Aviv Red Line light rail's maintenance depot is being constructed across the tracks from the Kiryat Aryeh railway station, as is a light rail station and a pedestrian tunnel which will allow passengers to transfer between the heavy rail and light rail stations. In October 2019 the station was the setting of a viral video. The video showcased a feral cat sitting on the gates while passengers streamed past it. The two-minute video went viral and accumulated millions of views and TV coverage around the world, a few days later the mayor of Petah Tikva came to pay tribute to the cat and was also caught on camera and became a part of the ongoing story

HaMoshava Stadium
HaMoshava Stadium

The HaMoshava Stadium (Hebrew: אִצְטַדְיוֹן הַמוֹשָׁבָה), also known as Petah Tikva Stadium, is a football stadium in Petah Tikva, Israel. It was completed in 2011, and is used mainly for football matches and is home to both Hapoel Petah Tikva and Maccabi Petah Tikva.The stadium has an all-seated capacity of 11,500 with an option for further construction of 8,500 on the south and north stands, totaling 20,000 seats. As part of a larger sports park in the new industrial area of the city, the complex will also boast a 3,000 seat multi-purpose arena, and artificial turf training fields. The budget for the stadium was US$25 million.The designers of the new stadium were GAB (Goldshmidt Arditty Ben Nayim) Architects, one of Israel's leading sport architecture firms that also designed the new Netanya Stadium and Haberfeld Stadium. The stadium was inaugurated on 6 December 2011, after almost two years of construction. It was one of four venues for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, staging three group matches and a semi-final. The stadium's naming was controversial in Petah Tikva, as some local residents wished to name it Rosh HaZahav (Gold head), after local city club Hapoel Petah Tikva and Israel national football player Nahum Stelmach. As a result, Maccabi Petah Tikva supporters proposed to name the stadium after Shmuel Ben-Dror, who played in the club for more than twenty years, was Israel's first captain and scored the first ever goal for Israel. After the city's refusal it was named HaMoshava after Petah Tikva's nickname, Em HaMoshavot (Mother of the Moshavot). In 2014 HaMoshava Stadium hosted the 2014 United Supercup.
