Al Shaheed Park is the largest urban parkinKuwait, sitting at about 78.5 acres.[1] Al Shaheed Park is considered the most significant green infrastructure project in Kuwait and has one of the largest overstructure greenroofs in the world.

The park is part of the new Kuwait National Cultural District (KNCD).[2] The park consists of several phases. Phase II was inaugurated in April 2017 and Phase III (the largest) is currently under construction and was set to open in January 2024 but as of April 2024 remains under construction.[3]

Overview

[edit]

Al Shaheed Park is a comprehensive cultural complex featuring contemporary architecture and artistic installations. The park includes various gardens, walkways, museums, exhibition spaces, and outdoor theaters for cultural events. Its development occurs in phases, with Phase II opening in April 2017, introducing additions such as a skate park, youth complex, and open-air performance center.[4]

Al Shaheed Park landscapes also hold multiple historical zones such as the Memorial zone and the Museum zone. The park is part of the new Kuwait National Cultural District (KNCD).[5][2]

Museums

[edit]

Al Shaheed Park contains two museums: Remembrance Museum and Habitat Museum.[2]

The Memorial Museum exhibits important events in Kuwaiti history.[6] In the center of the museum, there are four icons which symbolize the four most important battles in the history of Kuwait.[6]

The Habitat Museum is an exhibit about natural habitats of Kuwait, with a large number of interactive programs and scenographic recreations. Recreations of the plants and animals of Kuwait coexist with large format audiovisual productions. The museums offers an audio guide system.[6]
