By rasha AL qahtani


A RUNDOWN park in Hoora is to be revamped under a BD40,000 renovation scheme.

Hoora Park will be closed in two weeks for work that is expected to take around three months.

The park, behind Hoora Secondary Girls School, will get new equipment, including lighting and a walkway.

Work is being carried out by the Manama Municipality and supervised by the Manama Municipal Council.

Council member Abdulaziz Ahmed Mohammed Al Khaja said that the park would be completely revamped.

"Everything in it will be removed and replaced," he said.

"We will remove the sand, the old fence, the old broken bricks from passages, the trees that can be a hazard, dead grass and old shades."

Mr Al Khaja said that electricity would be connected to the park and an exercise pathway would be built.

"Previously the place was dark and visitors had to depend on the street lights to see," he said.

"We will also instal floodlights around the park to make the place brighter and more appealing and presentable."

Mr Al Khaja said that the park would also feature a new section for children.

"It will have games, slides and swings, in addition to seats especially designed for children," he said.

"The park will also include other necessary facilities, such as toilets for disabled people, since the council takes them into consideration in every project it implements."
