The Public Works Authority, Ashghal, has announced the completion of the redevelopment works at Al Rayyan Park (also known as Al Busat Al Akhdar), as originally scheduled.
The restoration of the park took place in co-ordination with Al Rayyan Municipality, and the Public Parks Department of the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning (MMUP). The authority expedited the work to reopen the park to the public on Thursday, ahead of the National Day celebrations.
The authority had announced the partial closure of the park to facilitate construction works related to the development of Al Rayyan Road adjacent to the park, as well as the maintenance and upgrade of the park itself to include various facilities of the park, such as fence, walkways and lighting system. A jogging track will also be introduced to the park so visitors can have a wider choice of sports to exercise.
Al Rayyan Park is located at the intersection of New Al Rayyan Road and Al Shamal Road stretched over a vast green area of 130,000sqm. It has been designed to cater to people with special needs and will include eight entrances in total, five of which at the north section of the park and the remaining three at the western part. There is also a special events area at the southwest corner of the park.
