PAAAFR will install security cameras in public parks to deter vandalism and protect visitors

 
 
 

As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen security and ensure the safety of public spaces, the Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources plans to install surveillance cameras across public parks in Kuwait. The initiative aims to monitor visitor behavior and curb acts of vandalism or misuse of public property.

According to informed sources, the project is awaiting approval from the relevant authorities to allocate the required budget, with implementation expected to begin next year. This move is part of a broader strategy to improve the management, maintenance, and overall environment of public parks nationwide, reports Al-Rai daily.

The sources highlighted that visitor behavior plays a crucial role in preserving these facilities, noting that many issues stem from a lack of adherence to cleanliness standards and respect for public spaces.

They added that the pilot project to install cameras along Shuwaikh Beach proved highly effective in reducing property damage and improving cleanliness — prompting plans to expand the system to all public parks.

The authority is also advancing several development and beautification initiatives, including the establishment of new public parks in areas such as Sabah Al-Ahmad City, Jaber Al-Ahmad City, and Abdullah Al-Mubarak. These efforts form part of the Authority’s broader vision to expand green spaces and enhance the quality of life across the country.
