שער המייסדים
המועצה המקומית בנימינה בשיתוף עם חברת החשמל שקמו את גן המייסדים; המנציח את סכר החקלאי העתיק שהיה על נחל התנינים.

בנימינה נוסדה ב-1922 ונקראת על שם הברון בנימין אדמונד דה רוטשילד "הנדיב הידוע". הברון ריכז את מאמצים להתיישבות באזור ע"י רכישת כ- 30,000 דונם של אדמות "הכיכר הגדולה" המשתרעת בין חדרה לזכרון יעקב.
הסכר על נחל התנינים הוא סמל המעיד על חזרת היהודים לאזור בהתיישבות רציפה: חלוצים יהודים חוזרים לאזור רווי ביצות וקדחת.
הגשר לצד הסכר איפשר מעבר בין זכרון יעקב לחדרה דרך בנימינה ופרדס חנה.

Comments:
The gate is actually a statue and fountain marking the dam on the Crocodile River, where there were three gates through which the water flowed.
It is unclear whether there was text or a drawing on the larger nearby sign.

Translation of the text on the sign:

Founders’ Gate
The Binyamina Local Council, in collaboration with the Israel Electric Company, restored the Founders’ Garden; commemorating the ancient agricultural dam that was on the Crocodile Stream.

Binyamina was founded in 1922 and is named after Baron Benjamin Edmond de Rothschild, "the well-known benefactor." The Baron focused his efforts to settle the area by purchasing approximately 30,000 dunams of land in the "Big Square" that extends between Hadera and Zichron Yaakov.
The dam on the Crocodile Stream is a symbol of the return of Jews to the area in continuous settlement: Jewish pioneers returning to an area filled with swamps and fever.
The bridge next to the dam allowed passage between Zichron Yaakov and Hadera via Binyamina and Pardes Hanna.
