Aspire Park
Explore Qatar’s largest park
Aspire Park is huge – it measures an impressive 88 hectares – and offers a wide range of activities for sports lovers in Qatar. This buzzing area is around 13 km west of Doha, Qatar’s capital. Start the day with a run on the jogging track, followed by a fresh brew in the onsite café. In the evenings, people love to relax on the park benches beside the fish pond and enjoy the breeze after a long, hot day.
The park truly comes to life at night, when the large grass pitches invite you for a barbecue with views of Doha’s skyline. Don’t forget to ascend the Torch Tower, a 300-metre-tall skyscraper that has an observatory deck and a revolving restaurant with magnificent views of Doha.

Al Bidda Park
Enjoy a great range of activities
Al Bidda Park is a versatile park along the Doha Corniche that offers running trails, 7 playgrounds, and plenty of gymnasiums for workout sessions. That’s not all it has to offer – a football field and a basketball court add to the sporty character of this park.
Unlike many other public spaces and parks in Doha, pets are most welcomed at Al Bidda Park. Keep in mind that your furry friend should be on a leash, though. It’s a breeze to throw a barbecue party using the park’s many fire pits, benches and tables. Al Bidda Park stretches along the coastline in central Doha and can easily be combined with a visit to Souk al Waqif.
