As the scorching summer heat settles over Qatar, families seek refuge in the oasis of parks and gardens scattered across the country. Some playgrounds have aquatic sections that provide a cool escape and serve as vibrant activity hubs with water features, particularly for children.

The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team has listed a few places where kids can play and splash around freely, creating unforgettable memories.

Note: It's recommended that parents supervise their children at all times while using the play areas, as they can be slippery. Some parks may also have scheduled maintenance times during which water features are unavailable.
