Residential Park

Hi,
Does anyone know of any neighbourhood in Doha that has a neighbourhood garden park? I am not thinking of the Aspire Zone or the parks near the Corniche or even the ones inside compounds. Just something similar to the garden squares which you might find in other cities (eg London).
Thanks for any relevant answers here.

Fantastic. Thanks so much Walshie. Really appreciate it. Been missing walks in small residential family parks which are not too congested.

OK if you drive on d ring past landmark on your right and take the first exit after landmark off to your right go left under the underpass and exit on the fourth road (so basically left). Then at the next round about (at gulf english school) turn right. Go straight through the next two round abouts. At the first set of lights you come to turn left and then you will see a really cute park on your left.

There is also the big "Family Park" near Landmark too kind of opposite Starfish 1 Nursery.

Yes, Walshie, any directions would be appreciated. You can pm me the directions if you want or post it here is fine too. We've been to Gharaffa before but not totally familiar with it.

There is a park on Al Rayan Road. If you drive towards Family Food Centre with FFC on your right and go through one round about and then do a u-turn at the next round about you will then see it off to your right.

I didn't see such kind of parks here, may be due to hot weather, but i really miss this part of city life.
