The municipal staff of Al-Saru in the Bani Kenana district have started comprehensive rehabilitation works for the Sma Al-Roussan Park (formerly the Knowledge Station), in preparation for converting it into a public park serving the residents and visitors of the area, as part of the municipality's efforts to develop recreational and service spaces.
The head of the Al-Saru Municipal Committee, Engineer Reem Abu Al-Rub, said that the municipal staff have started the rehabilitation process for the park, which was established 15 years ago as part of a project to enhance economic and social productivity, and has witnessed several transformations from a park that included a library and children's games to a knowledge station affiliated with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, and finally to its use as a warehouse during the past period.
Abu Al-Rub explained that the current maintenance and rehabilitation operations are being carried out with the support of donors from the local community, where the first donor provided maintenance and painting worth 10,000 dinars, while the second donor provided the park with modern children's games to reactivate its facilities and provide a safe environment for recreational and social and sports activities.
She pointed out that the municipality has issued a tender worth about 450,000 dinars, which is currently in the objections stage, in addition to allocating 100,000 dinars for an adjacent piece of land that was expropriated by immediate possession to settle its obligations and put it up for investment, confirming the municipality's endeavor to establish investment projects to enhance its resources, in addition to addressing the Hashemite Royal Court through the Ministry of Local Administration to establish a park and playground in the Ezreet area on land owned by the municipality.
