AMMAN, Sept. 9 (Petra) - Prime Minister Jafar Hassan directed the immediate initiation of procedures to construct a major public park in Zarqa Governorate-modeled after the Al-Nishama Park in Marj Al-Hamam-alongside new parks in Tafilah, Maan, Jerash, Ajloun, and Madaba, patterned after the new Mafraq Park, with all projects slated for completion throughout 2027.

The nationwide park expansion initiative builds upon the immense public turnout witnessed at Al-Nishama Park in Marj Al-Hamam and the newly developed Mafraq Park, as well as other recreational spaces established by the government, such as the Dead Sea Corniche and tourist beach.

The government will immediately allocate the necessary financial resources, identify suitable plots of land, and ensure all facilities are built to the highest engineering and environmental specifications.

The upcoming parks will feature expansive green spaces, dedicated picnic areas, family rest stops, and secure zones tailored for children, youth, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. Plans also incorporate walking and cycling tracks, parking lots accommodating hundreds of vehicles, and extensive forestry and tree-planting campaigns.

Additionally, the recreational hubs will house multi-sport courts, outdoor fitness equipment, large children's playgrounds, essential service facilities, and comprehensive public safety infrastructure, including advanced surveillance camera networks to protect and maintain the public spaces.
