Lusail's scenic 'Crescent Park' officially inaugurated
The 275,000 square meters Crescent Park in Lusail, which adds to Qatar’s array of picturesque parks and stunning architecture, was officially inaugurated by the Minister of Municipality and Environment His Excellency Abdulla bin Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Subaie yesterday.
With a unique layout, the park features different facilities including playgrounds and water games. It has waterways, bicycle and pedestrian tracks and shaded areas along the corridors, as well as public squares, seating area, forest and children's play areas, reported The Peninsula.
The park’s design embodies the desert environment and sand dunes, coupled with the style of Islamic gardens. This is mirrored in the Crescent Garden on the various flat and high-level surfaces.
The garden is fashioned with a special focus on sustainability through the use of recycled water to irrigate green areas, which coordinate with the design of a lighted irrigation system, offering an unparalleled experience to enjoy nature.
A large football field, two acrylic basketball courts, two beach volleyball courts, three acrylic tennis courts, make up the park’s diverse sports facilities, among its other offerings.

Commenting on the occasion, Al Subaie, said, one of the main objectives of the ministry is to protect the environment and its natural balance through comprehensive and sustainable development so future generations can reap the benefits of such efforts.
“The city of Lusail, which we are proud of as a model for sustainable cities, adds this new park to the city's facilities and services,” he said.
