Reading Power Station, founded by Pinchas Rotenberg and opened in 1938, the same year as Sde Dov, anchors the district's southern edge. Generation was announced to stop in January 2024; the giant steel tanks are being reused as a culture and leisure landmark, with nightly lighting. A leisure marina of about 300 moorings (Ma'aganat Reading) and Reading Park sit next to them.
