Al Bidda Park, formerly known as Al Rumaila Park,[1] is a park located on Corniche Street in Doha, Qatar next to Qatar National Theater. It is near Doha Bay, overlooks the Doha Corniche and is one of the oldest and most popular parks in Doha.[2] It is also a popular area for birdwatching.[3] The park includes a children's playground, small shops, the Cultural Village, and a cultural heritage center.[2]
The park was created in the 1990s.[4] After being closed for renovations in November 2014,[2] the park was reopened in February 2018 in commemoration of National Sports Day.[1]
