Qatar is planning to introduce the world’s first air-conditioned paths park.
According to an official from Qatar’s Public Works Authority Ashghal, the Umm Al Seneem Park is the first project of its kind in the world that spans over 130,000 square meters and 1,150 meter-long air-conditioned paths with walking, running, and cycling tracks.
“We completed this project after studies conducted since 2009, and the idea of air-conditioning came from the World Cup stadiums and then moved on to Katara Street,” Public Projects Department Head Engineer Abdul Hakim Al Hashimi mentioned in the interview with Al Rayyan TV yesterday.
The official also informed that adding to its existing range of some spectacular parks, Qatar is also soon to open Al Gharrafa Park and Rawdat Al Khail.
Al Gharrafa Park will cover an area of 50,000 square meters which will also feature air-conditioned paths while the Rawdat Al Khail will span over 140,000 square meters, the OL News added.
Each park will comprise dedicated play areas for children and have a 70 percent green area, in addition to parking lots from 115 to 375 each.
