With the opening of Umm Al Seneem Park in Al Rayan Municipality on Tuesday, which boasts the longest air-conditioned running track in the world, Guinness World Records were broken.
Just weeks before the opening this week, the 1,143-meter-long air-conditioned jogging tracks were given the Guinness World Records title of “largest air-conditioned outdoor walkway.”
The jogging tracks, which maintain temperatures at 26 degrees Celsius, are intended to motivate visitors to exercise throughout the harsh summer season in an effort to improve their health and fitness.
The air conditioning technology relies on solar panels to generate 60% of the electricity needed to run the air conditioners. This lowers electricity use while maintaining temperatures.
The park has a number of significant amenities, including a fitness box that lets guests work out while watching a trainer demonstrate exercises on a screen.
There are also two kid-friendly play areas at the park, one for kids aged 2 to 5 and the other for kids aged 6 to 12, both of which have special needs-friendly games.
There are also seven service kiosks, including six for food and beverages, one kiosk for renting bicycles, and bicycle parking.
The park can hold roughly 6,000 guests each day.
Its green spaces make up 68% of its overall surface and there is a total 912 trees of 18 varieties, including 75 native trees and 820 square metres of long green walls around the park.
Umm Al Seneem Park, which spans over 130,000 square metres, is a component of a ministry initiative to enhance Qatar’s quality of life by expanding its green space.
According to experts, the number of green spaces in the nation has expanded more than ten times since 2010. This is primarily because of new parks, landscaping, and green areas.
In order to make visitors more comfortable, public parks all across the country have jogging tracks, play areas for kids, and workout equipment.
The parks were created with sustainability objectives in mind to lessen carbon emissions and provide tourists with fresh air.
