An amount of almost QR500 million has been allocated for the rest of the projects in accordance with the Public Works Authority (Ashghal).

The project will involve a makeover of the Rawdat Al Khail and Ras Abu Aboud parks in addition to the establishment of new parks in Al Gharafa and Umm Al Seneem that will add to the list of Qatar's picturesque parks. 

The Ministry has formed a specialized team with members from the Department of Public Parks to oversee the beautification projects.

Earlier in March the Ministry also opened a new park in Al Shahaniya, one month after the official inaugration of the scenic Crescent Park in Lusail.
