Qatar is taking its commitment to beating the heat to the next level with a new public park featuring air-conditioned jogging tracks. The Rawdat Al Hamama Public Park is set to become a central hub for surrounding areas, complete with expansive green spaces, native trees, ample parking, and designated play areas for children of all ages.
Project Manager Jassim Abdulrahman Fakhroo explains that central parks differ from neighborhood parks, with thousands of square meters and amenities like fitness equipment to cater to all age groups.
