The Central Municipal Council (CMC) has recommended that the Ministry of Municipality and Environment study the possibility of building more entertainment facilities and water-theme-areas at Al Khor public park. The recommendation also said that festivals and entertainment programmes be organised in the bigger parks such as Al Khor Park.
Plans of public parks need to include diversified games and entertainment tools in the play area in order to include children under five years. The Council has also asked the Ministry to assess the need of Al Wakra spur and resolve the problems being faced by fishermen. There is a need for assessing the needs of all fishing harbours in Qatar, especially in Al Khor, Al Shamal, Adakhera, and Al Wakra and setting up plans and making designs to develop them, said the Council in its recommendation to the Ministry.
CMC yesterday discussed two reports prepared by its Services and Facility Committee on building more facilities and play-areas in public parks for children of different ages in all parks in general, and in Al Khor Park in particular.
The second report was about the development of Al Wakra fishing port.
The recommendation passed by the Council upon proposals by Nasser bin Ibrahim Al Muhannadi, member of the Council and representative of the constituency No. 25, pertaining to establishment of more facilities and games in the play areas of Al Khor park was made due to the big turnout at the park following its opening.
The second recommendation was also based on a suggestion made by the same member and was forwarded to the Services and Facility Committee to study the suggestions and report to the Council. The recommendations were made upon the committee’s report and after discussing the issue with the authority concerned in the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.
