Sheraton Park

The Sheraton Park is a very pleasant green space located at the West Bay end of the Corniche, Doha’s famous waterfront promenade. Apart from the gorgeous location, the main attraction is the well-shaded and well-equipped playground. It is also a great spot to laze around in the sunshine or in the shade of a tree. As you sit and relax, munching your picnic, with the hustle-bustle of West Bay behind you, you really get a sense of being in a city park.

Another important landmark only a stone’s throw away from the park is, of course, Doha’s much-loved Sheraton Hotel. It is one of Doha’s oldest hotels and by now has become a bit of an institution. Unfortunately, it will be out of action for a while as it is currently undergoing large-scale renovation.

A good day out and an excellent way to burn some calories would be to walk the length of the Corniche and back with a half-way picnic and play pit-stop at the Sheraton Park.

If the heat gets too much, you could always escape to the air-conditioned and well-placed café located just a quick walk from the playground. Is there a Costa Coffee anywhere else in the world with a better vista than this one?
