June 17 – The Mayor of Amman, Omar Maani, inaugurated the “Your Park” project in Al-Naser region at an estimated cost of JD110,000. The project is the brainchild of a student named Yasmeen Abu Taleb at the Amman Baccalaureate School. Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, Maani praised the public and private sectors for being so committed to serving the community.
He also said that the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) is keen to increase green belts in Amman by using the urban spaces between residential neighbourhoods.
Yasmeen Abu Taleb stated: “I grant this good land for its good residents, kids, women, and men, I grant it and I’m fully proud of helping my country for advancement and progress, and my reward is a smile on the children’s lips, and a sense of satisfaction from all of us, Jordanian citizens”.
The park will comprise a pentagon playground for football covered with industrial grass, and a play area, in addition to pedestrian corridors, and farming pools.
