Doha, December 01 (QNA) - The Ministry of Municipality has inaugurated two new public parks, designed and implemented in coordination with the Public Works Authority (Asghal).

The Al Nabaq and Al Athl public parks are intended to be part of the ministry's ongoing plans to enhance quality of life, expand green spaces, and improve public services, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.

Assistant Undersecretary for Public Services, Eng. Abdulla Al Karani, said the openings align with the Ministry of Municipality's 2024-2030 strategy and the Third National Development Strategy. He emphasized the ministry's continuous efforts to increase green areas and the number of parks across the country, supporting government directives to create healthier urban environments and recreational facilities for the community.

Al Karani added that the ministry follows a comprehensive plan to raise per capita green space and improve living standards in residential areas by developing new parks, upgrading existing ones, and providing modern facilities suitable for all age groups. The expansion of green areas is a key priority to ensure sustainable development and healthy urban living.

Al Nabaq Park in Al Thumama spans 3,723 square metres, with green areas covering 67% of the space. It features a 181-metre jogging track, a children's playground for ages 6-12, a fitness area, walking paths, seating areas, and accessible facilities for people with disabilities.
