With only a few days left for Eid Al Fitr, the Public Works and Services Department (PSWD), Ras Al Khaimah, has given a facelift to all parks here, aimed at bringing happiness to the thousands of visitors who visit during the holiday.
The green area of Saqr public park has been increased. Public parking spaces inside and outside the park have been expanded, and the outer wall strengthened. The Saqr Park includes three aid-conditioned halls, with electric toys for children to play with, he added. "This is besides the cafeterias, separate prayer rooms for men and women, and a traditional majlis," said Eng Ahmed Al Hammadi, Director General of PSWD. "All our parks must meet the latest safety standards, to protect visitors."
Three new district parks - in the residential areas of Al Uraibi, Red Island, and Shawkah - are 90 per cent complete. Each cost an average Dh2 million to build, and feature large green areas, shaded spots, toilets, cafeterias, restaurants, and play equipment for children.
Eng Al Hammadi said PSWD is keen to implement quantum projects, such as public parks, for the benefit of both nationals and residents. RAK police are also geared up for the Eid rush, with more traffic and security patrols. Patrols will monitor the Eid Musallas, official abattoirs, public parks, malls, markets and residential areas.
