Government: Establishing and rehabilitating parks and public facilities in various governorates of the Kingdom

The government's digital spokesperson, Farah, said on Wednesday that green spaces and playgrounds are part of the quality of life, confirming the government's continued efforts to establish new parks and rehabilitate existing facilities in various governorates of the Kingdom.

Farah explained that a directive from the Prime Minister mandates the establishment of a new park in Zarqa Governorate similar to Al-Nashama Park in Marj Al-Hamam, in addition to establishing parks in the governorates of Tafilah, Ma'an, Madaba, Jerash, and Ajloun, modeled after the Mafraq Park.

She pointed to the opening of a park in Mafraq covering an area of 200 dunums, which includes about 10,000 trees, picnic areas, children's playgrounds, and sports facilities, noting that the park will be linked to the sports facilities of Al-Bayt University, allowing the local community, youth, and athletes to benefit from it.

In Marj Al-Hamam, Al-Nashama Park was opened on an area of 56 dunums, featuring green spaces, walking and cycling paths, and 11 playgrounds for various sports.

Furthermore, the Dead Sea Corniche was opened in the Dead Sea area on an area of 600 dunums, including a walkway, a cycling path, family seating areas, children's playgrounds, and an outdoor theater that can accommodate about 2,500 people for artistic and cultural events, in addition to work on rehabilitating the Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II Park.

Farah indicated that work is ongoing in other governorates and regions through the opening and rehabilitation of parks and facilities in the areas of Al-Hallabat, Zarqa, Azraq, Hitten Camp, and Baqa'a Camp, alongside facilities in Al-Hussein Youth City, Prince Faisal Youth City, and the park adjacent to the Al-Akider Health Center in the North-Western Badia.

She emphasized that the goal of planting trees and establishing parks is to provide better places for citizens and to make public spaces a part of the lives of families, youth, and children in Jordan.
