Qassim Municipality, through the Riyadh Al-Khabra Municipal Office, has equipped several walking tracks and public parks in the governorate with fitness and exercise equipment. The initiative aims to encourage physical activity, promote healthy lifestyles, and improve quality of life.

Mohammed bin Falah Al-Nefaie, Mayor of Riyadh Al-Khabra, stated that the governorate has six walking tracks distributed across the area, in addition to tracks within public parks and residential neighborhoods. He noted that several of these locations have been fitted with fitness and exercise stations, enabling residents and visitors to engage in sports activities in well-prepared public spaces. This supports public health and encourages people of all ages to exercise regularly.

He explained that these efforts are part of the municipality’s plans to develop open sports and recreational facilities and to create an urban environment that encourages physical activity. This is achieved by providing walking tracks, exercise equipment, maintaining green spaces, pathways, seating areas, and supporting services, all of which enhance the appeal and usability of parks and walkways for residents and visitors.

He affirmed that work is ongoing to further develop parks and walkways, improve the quality of open sports facilities, and expand their use to meet the needs of both residents and visitors. These efforts also support the humanization of cities, provide public spaces that encourage sports and social interaction, and contribute to raising the quality of life in the region.
