The Ministry of Municipalities and Agriculture has fully prepared to welcome both citizens and residents during the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holiday by upgrading parks, walkways, recreational areas, coastlines, and waterfronts. These areas, which see a significant influx of visitors during the holiday season, have undergone routine maintenance to ensure the best possible experience for all visitors.
The Kingdom of Bahrain's parks offer a variety of attractions that make them a preferred destination for visitors. These include lush greenery, open spaces, playgrounds, and sports tracks. Additionally, the parks have been equipped with special facilities to accommodate individuals with disabilities, including dedicated cycling paths and various fitness equipment.
The ministry, represented by the Capital Secretariat and the three municipalities (Muharraq Municipality, Northern Governorate Municipality, and Southern Governorate Municipality), has placed great emphasis on these parks. Several new parks and walkways have been created and inaugurated, alongside the renovation and upkeep of existing parks and the development of public facilities. The ministry also ensures the addition of new recreational and service locations each year, contributing to a continuously refreshed entertainment environment for all.
In terms of services, there are over 200 parks, walkways, and coastal areas spread across the Kingdom, catering to the needs of both citizens and residents. The ministry prioritizes the establishment of neighborhood parks in residential areas for easy access. Among these is the Barbar Park, known for its scenic seaside view and high-end facilities, and the Hamad City 1209 Walkway, which stretches 1.4 kilometers along Sheikh Hamad Street, covering an area of around 15,000 square meters.
Other neighborhood parks include the Sind Park in Block 743, spanning 2,200 square meters and located amidst homes for easy access, and the Saar Park in Block 525, an important addition to the public facilities in the Northern Governorate, with an area exceeding 3,000 square meters.
The park and recreational projects implemented by the Ministry of Municipalities and Agriculture align with the strategic plan to achieve sustainable development goals. The ministry focuses on enhancing aesthetic values and providing recreational spaces that meet the needs of families and individuals across various regions of the Kingdom. As a result, these parks have become popular destinations during holidays. Notable parks include the Water Garden, the Grand Muharraq Park, Prince Khalifa Park, and other major projects that significantly enrich the Kingdom's landscape.
Additionally, projects that help preserve heritage include Ain Riya Park, which revitalizes the historic Ain Riya site to maintain its cultural and architectural value. Other heritage parks include Ain An Guayfa Park, Riffa Park, and Ain Al-Hannaniya Park in the Southern Governorate, known for their unique designs, extensive greenery, and wide lawns.
The Ministry of Municipalities and Agriculture has invited both citizens and residents to enjoy the festive atmosphere of Eid Al-Fitr in the parks and recreational areas across Bahrain's various governorates. The ministry reiterated its commitment to continuing efforts to provide a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all, while preserving the aesthetic beauty of public spaces to ensure a memorable experience for all visitors.
