The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has started the construction works for the Al Daayen Park Development Project. Once completed, the park will be a tourist and leisure destination serving the local residents and people from surrounding areas.
The park is being constructed as part of the plans by the Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar to create a sustainable environment by implementing green projects.
The construction of the park is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2020, following which it will be opened for public.
Eng Maryam al Kuwari, Project Design Manager, said the park is located in Al Daayen Municipality on area of 39,000 square metres. The park will be an outlet for the families in Al Daayen and Semaisema areas. The project includes providing green open spaces with seating areas and kids playing area.
A fitness area will be provided along with pedestrian and cycle paths to encourage people to practice sports and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Park visitors can use the parking space provided by Al Daayen Municipality, which currently includes 50 parking lots that will be increased in the future. There will be decorative lighting poles with special dimmed lighting to secure privacy, she added.
