Rubber playground floors, brighter lights, and new sports equipment are on the way as Al Duraz Park shuts its gates today for an extensive four-month refurbishment.
The closure follows approval from the Northern Municipal Council for a plan to breathe new life into the park. Engineer Lamya Yousif Al Fadhala, Director General of the Northern Municipality, backed the proposal during a recent site visit, where she emphasised the need for urgent improvements. The overhaul will bring rubber flooring, artificial grass, upgraded lighting, and a variety of new equipment for children and sports enthusiasts.
Councillor Basim Abu Idrees, representing the second constituency in the Northern Governorate, expressed his thanks to the government for backing local projects and driving progress in the area. He particularly recognised the leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister in supporting community developments.
The renovation work is expected to take four months. Abu Idrees apologised for any disruption caused by the closure and urged residents to avoid the surrounding area during the work for their own safety.
Al Duraz village itself is undergoing wider improvements. Sixteen streets have been resurfaced as part of a first phase, with additional roads set to follow in the coming days. A recent inspection with engineers from the Ministry of Works and the Northern Municipality, along with feedback gathered through social media, also revealed areas in need of better street lighting, which are now being addressed.
‘We appreciate the community’s patience as we carry out these changes, which will create a safer and more enjoyable space for everyone,’ said Abu Idrees.
