New Salata park 2024

    The New Salata Park in Doha is a cozy, family-friendly oasis nestled in the New Salata area. Though small, it offers a safe, fenced environment with guards, a few resident cats, and lush greenery that brings life to the space. One unique advantage is its slightly lower humidity during summer months compared to areas closer to the sea, making it a bit more comfortable even on Doha’s hottest days.

The park features charming gazebos for shaded relaxation, a well-maintained playground, and gentle, sloping hills that are perfect for little ones to roll, ride their trikes, or simply run up and down. Parents have observed that this natural playtime setting can stimulate speech in some toddlers—a concept supported by early childhood development experts, and something that has worked for many families.

While the park does have basic restroom facilities, it lacks a buffet or food vendors. However, 03 Mall is just a 10-minute walk away. Located on Al Shagub Street, it offers a 24-hour SPAR supermarket, cafes, restaurants, and various retail outlets, perfect for grabbing snacks and refreshments.

 

Additionally, for families interested in educational activities, the Skills Development Centre is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the park. It offers a variety of courses to engage children and support their learning journey.

Park Hours: The park is open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, allowing visitors to enjoy its amenities throughout the day and into the evening.

Parks in qatar 2024 no 1 - Al Bidda Park

 The refreshing weather in Doha is perfect for enjoying the outdoors, and Al Bidda Park is a wonderful spot for this! Nestled between the Gulf Interchange and stretching through central Doha, it’s an inviting escape filled with open spaces, shaded areas, and walking paths. Over the past week, I’ve explored it from different angles, with most of my visits starting from the Gulf Interchange, leading straight into the park’s heart. 

The good news? If you’re approaching from Al Sadd or Bin Mahmoud, reaching the park is straightforward and safe. The pedestrian bridge over the Alkhaleej street makes crossing easy, and the traffic lights are fully functional, helping drivers respect pedestrian crossings—a small but impactful addition to the urban life.

Unfortunately, the pedestrian bridge's lift is currently out of service, which can be an inconvenience for those needing accessibility support. Still, Al Bidda Park remains a serene, green escape with just a few hurdles along the way!
