The approvals were made during a meeting of the municipality’s Internal Tenders Committee, chaired by Eng Ahmed bin Saeed al Amri, Chairman of Muscat Municipality, last week.

The projects aim to expand the number of neighbourhood parks, enhance the urban landscape and improve public amenities and social well-being.

Commenting on the projects, Amri said, “The implementation of residential neighbourhood park projects reflects Muscat Municipality’s commitment to enhancing the visual character of residential areas and providing modern infrastructure in line with urban expansion and sustainable development across the governorate.”
