The park’s public and recreational areas attract different types of visitors, particularly individuals from surrounding neighborhoods, residents, and families seeking relaxation and play areas for their children. The project also attracts athletes due to the presence of the sports trails and courts. The project will be designed to complement the surrounding natural elements.¹⁴
The project is initiated and funded by Muscat Municipality.¹⁵ ¹⁶ The project has been under implementation since 2022 by the local companies, including Saif Al Harasi.¹⁷
