Al Wakra Park, covering 46,601 sqm, is set to open soon as the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has finished 95% of the work.
The park has been refurbished, with the walkway repaired, fitness equipment for adults installed, and new play areas for children installed.
There are prayer rooms, a barbecue area, toilets, a main square designated for events, and an artificial lake.
The park has 70% green cover, improving the climate, lowering temperatures, and reducing carbon emissions.
Ashghal, which constructed the new park on the site of the old park established in the late 1980s, preserved the plants and trees, especially the perennial trees.
The new park has a walking and cycling path. There are dozens of parking spaces, including those designated for people with special needs. A large number of solar-powered lighting poles have been installed throughout the park in addition to several surveillance cameras that operate round-the-clock.
The scope of work at Al Wakra Park included a complete upgrade of the infrastructure, such as irrigation, electricity, sewage, and rainwater drainage networks.
