About Al Shaheed Park
Al Shaheed Park (Martyrs' Park) is a large landscaped park built along the historic line of Kuwait City's old defensive wall, honouring the memory of those who lost their lives for the country. Covering a sizeable stretch of central Kuwait City, it combines open lawns, lakes, walking and cycling paths, and several small museums and galleries.
The park's design blends traditional Kuwaiti and Islamic garden elements with modern landscaping, including water features, a floating stage, and spaces dedicated to telling the story of Kuwait's history, including the 1990-91 Gulf War. It has become one of the most popular green spaces in the capital, drawing families, joggers and visitors looking for a quiet break from the city.
