Al Khulaifat park
Location: Near Doha Club, Ras Abu Abood Street
A great grassy picnic spot with a few trees for shady respite. This relatively small park, located just before the Doha Club at the southern end of the Corniche, is well-maintained and full of flowers, which is a real rarity in Doha.

Al-Khor Gardens
Location: Al Khor
40km north of Doha, Just a few miles up the road from the town of Al Khor you will find this desert oasis. The Al Khor garden is a great location for a picnic lunch or dinner, especially during the cooler months. It is more of a large park than any kind botanical exhibit but it is a nice lush green spot to stroll around. Entrance is free of charge. It is a large family oriented park with slides and swings for kids and numerous trees to relax under. Though currently the gardens have been left unattended so not many people make the trip any more.
