The Capital Municipality is planning to invest 158,000 dinars in the renovation of Abu Ghazala Park, a popular green space in the heart of the city, sources revealed. The project aims to enhance the park's facilities and appeal to visitors, making it a more welcoming and enjoyable destination.

The renovation project will encompass a range of improvements, including upgrading restrooms, restoring the iconic waterfall and fountain, ensuring playground safety, providing ample shade, and creating a more inviting environment through repainting and landscaping. The project is expected to be completed within 5 to 6 months, with the park being ready for use by the end of 2024.

Sources within the Capital Municipality have highlighted the park's popularity among residents of the area and beyond. It was once known for its birdcage, which was a beloved attraction for many visitors. The park offers a variety of amenities, including seating areas, green spaces, a fountain, a waterfall, and a playground that is part of the "Frijj Playgrounds" project, known for its high-quality surfaces.

Sources expressed hope that the renovation project will be a success and that similar efforts will be undertaken to improve other parks in the capital. It's worth noting that the Capital Governorate is overseeing a total of 40 parks, some of which are in good condition while others require maintenance, development, and rehabilitation.
