With Phase 1 of the gradual lifting of Covid-19 restrictions coming into effect on Friday, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has said all parks are now open at 30% of their capacity.

The MME explained, through an infographic on social media, that sitting and gathering in small groups with a maximum of five people or family members living in the same house, running, walking and cycling are allowed.

Toilets, play areas, exercise machines and courts remain closed. The opening hours of the parks are from 5pm until midnight and from 5pm to 1am on holidays. Al Khor Park will be open from 8am to 10pm.
