Aspire Park, Public park in Doha, Qatar.
Aspire Park is an 88-hectare green space in Doha with dedicated exercise zones, walking trails, and a sizeable lake that hosts bird populations year-round. The area features manicured lawns and multiple recreational sections for visitors to explore.
The site gained international attention during the 2006 Asian Games when the adjacent 300-meter Aspire Tower served as the games' torch. This connection to a major sporting event established the location's importance in the city.
A bronze sculpture by British artist Sarah Lucas depicts a Shire horse pulling a cart filled with two pumpkins. The work stands as part of the park's effort to integrate contemporary art into its landscape.
The park is easily accessible by several bus routes including 301, 31, 32, and 41, or by the Al Aziziyah metro station. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially during the hotter months.
The area contains Qatar's only lake, surrounded by rare trees including floss silk species that originated in Argentina. These plants create an unexpected botanical contrast within the desert setting.
