Ein Ganim (Hebrew: עין גנים) was the first moshav po'alim ("workers' moshav") in Ottoman Palestine. It was established in 1908 near Petah Tikva by members of the Second Aliyah and was named after the Levitical city of Ein Ganim, mentioned in the book of Joshua 21:29. The moshav poalim was an attempt to combine farming and urban labor (garden city movement). In addition to working in the city, families received land for tending small kitchen gardens. The moshav poalim differed in approach from the moshav ovdim ("laborers' moshav"): It was not based on collective ideology or settling national land. The experiment failed because the kitchen gardens did not generate sufficient income. According to the 1931 census Ein Ganim had a population of 335 Jews, in 77 houses.In 1937, Ein Ganim became a neighborhood of Petah Tikva.

It is the home stadium of both Hapoel Petah Tikva and city rivals Maccabi Petah Tikva, who moved to the stadium in the late 1970s after their Maccabi Sports Ground was abandoned. The stadium has hosted European football, as Hapoel have played in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Cup and the Intertoto Cup and Maccabi in the Intertoto Cup. Although Maccabi have qualified for the UEFA Cup twice in recent seasons, security concerns have prevented matches from being staged in the city, with matches played either abroad or in the Ramat Gan Stadium in the Tel Aviv District city of Ramat Gan. In summer 2010 the stadium was abandoned and turned into a neighborhood.
