Al Shaheed Park is set to open its third phase to the public on October 1, with a two-day celebratory carnival designed around the themes of peace, harmony and hope. The opening celebrations on October 1 and 2 will transform the park into a vibrant public space featuring cultural, artistic, entertainment and sporting activities, while giving visitors an opportunity to explore the new facilities and experiences introduced as part of the third phase.

Speaking at a press conference at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre, Anwar Al-Yatami, head of the Supervision, Management and Follow-up Committee for the third phase and representative of the Amiri Diwan, described Al Shaheed Park as a national project that has added a new dimension to Kuwait’s cultural and recreational landscape.

She said the third phase builds on the achievements of the park’s first and second phases while introducing new components that bring together culture, art, entertainment and sports within a modern and sustainable environment. According to Al-Yatami, the latest phase is intended to strengthen Al Shaheed Park’s position as a major destination in Kuwait and provide an integrated experience for families and visitors.

The opening carnival will feature a range of activities across the park over two days. These will include light shows around the dome of Al-Sour Theater, family and children’s entertainment, Kuwaiti heritage performances, festive processions and artistic works and creative installations. Nadera Al-Ahmad, a member of the supervisory committee, said the programme was designed to introduce visitors to the park’s diverse facilities through activities combining culture, arts, entertainment and sports.

The celebrations will also include physical and sports activities, with local athletes participating in parkour and skating arenas. Additional activities will be offered across the park’s facilities by sponsors and partners. Visitors will be able to use the carnival schedule and interactive map to identify the locations of activities and performances throughout the park.

Al-Yatami expressed appreciation to the Governor of the Capital, Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali, for his support, as well as to the sponsors and all those involved in developing the third phase. She said the committee hoped the new phase would build on the success of the previous stages and provide a platform for further events and activities serving the community and strengthening Kuwait’s cultural and entertainment offerings.
