Eng. Mansour Jafar al-Mosawi, Projects Design Manager at the Committee, said that design implementation of several parks along a total area of 34,553 sq.m is underway, including Al Thumama Park in Doha Municipality, Al Wajbah Park in Al Rayyan Municipality and three parks in Al Wakra Municipality.
Eng. Al Mosawi added that these projects are assigned to Elegancia Landscape Company, where the preliminary works are underway, and the park will be opened for the public in the second quarter of 2022, except Al Wajbah Park, which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2022.
Regarding the design of Al Thumama Park on an area of about 4,400 sq.m, Eng. Al Mosawi clarified that it is located in an area mixed with residential units, sports and commercial facilities and offices, and is located near two mosques that attract visitors to this area. Therefore, it is designed to match the surrounding environment and contribute to creating a healthy green environment that encourages social interaction of residents, employees and visitors. The Park will include many seating areas and children’ play area, in addition to a shared path for joggers and cyclists. It is also taken into account to increase the percentage of green areas and plantations to cover about 70% of the park. The Park is connected from the south and east sides by a ‘railway’ that currently exists between boundaries of buildings and the park, integrating with the design to facilitate access to the park by bicycle or on foot.
