I was walking around Souq Waqif when I saw the new park that is being built on the parking garage. It's not done yet (after wandering around a bit taking pictures security asked me to leave as it's still a construction zone) but it looks nice.
Here's a list of amenities:
The fountain in the center was under repair but the previous evening I had taken a picture:
There's also exercise areas scattered throughout the park.
And a playground
I figure it will be ready in about a month, mostly due to work on the parking garage underneath.
In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .

I hope they allow pets inside once they open. I can't find a neat park to bring my dogs anywhere in Doha.
If dogs aren't allowed in most parks then I doubt they'll allow them there. Qatar is not as welcoming to dogs as say Europe is.
Not sure about how safe it would be either, the park is right next to the Corniche Road and there's no fence (so far). If your dog got loose it might run onto the road.
