The Qatar Foundation commissioned AECOM to design the park, under Erik Behrens and James Haig Streeter as Architecture, and Landscape Design Lead respectively:[4]
Looking to the Qatari natural landscape for clues was critical. ‘We drew our inspiration from the wind-eroded rocks and fluid land formations in Qatar,’ says Behrens. ‘Oxygen Park is designed to convey a beautiful and fluid surface; its undulations enable it to flow effortlessly as ground, roof, wall, and ceiling.’[6]
The park has been used for community events – such as an annual walkathontoraise awarenessofdiabetes.[7][8] From December 2019, Monday evenings became designated as "Ladies-Only Night".[9]
