Plans to upgrade Khalifa Bin Salman Park in Hidd are progressing, with Muharraq Municipality confirming that new features may soon be added to attract more visitors, especially in summer.
Proposed attractions include an aquatic animal museum, watersports facilities and sea ferry services. Khalifa Bin Salman Park is one of Hidd’s key public spaces, overlooking the sea and long viewed as a potential hub for family recreation and tourism-linked activities. However, residents have been calling for improved facilities, more events and greater transparency regarding private investments at the site.
Muharraq Municipality director-general Khalid Al Qallaf said noted that the park has recently seen growing public interest, driven by improving weather conditions.
“As temperatures improve, we are seeing increased turnout at Khalifa Park in Hidd,” Mr Al Qallaf said.
“The aim is to make better use of the park’s coastal location and introduce activities that revitalise the area and encourage families and visitors to return.
“There are many ideas that we are exploring with the investor, who has proposed an aquatic animals museum, watersports facilities and varying sea ferries – both classic and modern.”
