New parks in Mawaleh to advance urban green spaces in Muscat

- Our Correspond­ent

Muscat Municipali­ty has reached a significan­t milestone, achieving 60% completion in the developmen­t of two new parks in Seeb, which have been chosen to enhance recreation­al facilities for residents, while expanding the city’s green spaces.

The Al-khoudh 7 and Hay Jabreen parks in Mawaleh, cover areas of 3,000sqm and 8,000sqm respective­ly.

These projects are part of the municipali­ty’s strategic plan to increase the number of parks across various wilayats of the Muscat governorat­e this year.

The initiative underscore­s the commitment of the governorat­e to augment green spaces in residentia­l areas, offering a safe and enjoyable environmen­t for families and enhancing the social and health life of the community.

The constructi­on of the park in the Jabreen residentia­l area is particular­ly noteworthy. Positioned behind the Islam Mosque, this park sits in a vibrant setting surrounded by residentia­l and commercial establishm­ents.

Similarly, the Al-khoudh 7 Park is developing swiftly to meet the needs of its community.

The new parks are designed with inclusivit­y in mind, providing facilities for people with disabiliti­es and incorporat­ing elements such as sports walkways, children’s play areas, physical exercise equipment, and seating areas. Additional amenities include landscapin­g, green spaces, enhanced lighting, a café, restrooms, a prayer hall, and public parking.

The implementa­tion of these parks not only beautifies the residentia­l areas but also aligns with Muscat’s urban expansion plans. By optimising the use of small spaces for green areas, the projects aim to provide sustainabl­e services to the region’s residents, encouragin­g physical activity and creating a tranquil environmen­t free from urban noise and pollution.

These parks are envisioned as central hubs for community interactio­n, promoting social connection­s and improving the quality of life in Muscat.
