Al Shaheed Park
حديقة الشهيد
An urban green belt built on the site of Kuwait's old city walls. It features a botanical garden, a lake, walking trails, and two memorial museums, making it the most popular park in Kuwait City.
Al-Shaheed Park stands on the site of Kuwait's old city walls and extends about 2 km along the former wall road. It has been opened in phases since 2015. The park contains a native botanical garden, an artificial lake, jogging trails, and viewing platforms. It also houses the Sadu Museum of Traditional Customs, which tells the story of Kuwaiti folk life, and a memorial museum commemorating the victims of the Iraqi invasion of 1990. Entry to the park is free, and some museums charge a small admission fee. In the evenings many local families come to stroll. The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre and the remains of the city gate are nearby.
