This third installment is the largest space among the “We Play Together” initiative, with an area of 8,000 sqm, accommodating more than 150 visitors at once.

Seeking inclusivity and investing in children, the use of the square will be free for all children.

As the Mayor His Excellency Eng. Fahad Al Jubair stated: “Al Khereji Square is a humanitarian effort to serve our children, regardless of their abilities. We at the Amana are keen on promoting this type of partnership between the governmental and private sector to help and create special parks that contribute to the betterment of our society – which is a main objective of the Quality of Life & Human Cities programs from Vision 2030.”

Executive Director of Al Muhaidib Social Foundation, Mrs. Sara E. Al Muhaidib stated: “Al Muhaidib Social Foundation seeks to lead all fields that serve early childhood development, we believe that creating a generation that understands and accepts differences will facilitate for a better tomorrow.”

Making Al Khereji Square a comfortable and endearing space for everyone is a main goal, as we strive to leave a sustainable footprint in our society at Al Khereji Group.”

In attendance of the Opening Ceremony were CEO of Al Muhaidib Group Mr. Essam A.K. Al Muhaidib, Chairman of Al Khereji Investment Mr. Abdulaziz A. Al Khereji, and the Mayor His Excellency Eng. Fahad Al Jubeir.
