Sharjah Municipality begins work on AED15 million public parks

The project aims to develop public park facilities and services, as well as park expansions and landscape development. Park improvements will also be made on lighting, public toilets and designated prayer rooms for men and women.

Dr. Salah Al Hajj, General Manager of Sharjah Municipality, said, "We consider public parks an important aspect of family entertainment. With our newly improved and more convenient facilities, we want to transform our parks into places of social activities."

"In addition to its existing 35 parks, Sharjah Municipality is working to add 10 new parks in different areas of the city, which will be fully equipped and designed to accommodate families and children."

Mr. AL Hajj added, "Improvements have already made on 23 of Sharjah's parks, with offices for park attendants, ladies' and guards' rooms, ladies' prayer rooms, cafeterias, toilets and electricity rooms. The changes have been made in the following parks: Al Sufaia, Al Mahatta, Al Khaledya, Al Suwaihat, Al Ghafia, Al Faihaa, Al Qadesia, Al Nasreia, Abu Shaghara, Dasman, Semnan, Maisaloun, Al Tarafana, Al Refa'a, Al Qaraen, Al Darari, Al Hezam, Al Akhdar, Al Hamria, Al Falaj, Al Ramtha and Al Azra."
