**"Al-Kanayat Park": A Summer Haven for Sidon's Families**  

Operated by the Mohammed Zaidan Development Association, Al-Kanayat Park sees heavy visitation each summer from Sidon's families and residents. Its prime location along the beautiful Awali River at the city's northern entrance offers both scenic beauty and relief from the summer heat, making it a preferred destination. The park's comprehensive amenities further enhance its appeal to visitors.  

Strategically situated on the banks of the Awali River, Al-Kanayat Park serves as a vital green space and ideal retreat for Sidon's residents and visitors alike. In these times of economic challenges, the park provides crucial recreational opportunities for low-income families who face limited options for leisure activities. Many families frequent the park to enjoy respite from life's daily stresses and financial burdens, particularly as it stands as essentially the only free public park in the Sidon area offering such comprehensive facilities and services.  

The Mohammed Zaidan Development Association deliberately established Al-Kanayat Park to serve families in Sidon and surrounding areas, especially those who cannot afford entertainment at restaurants, cafes, or other paid venues - options which are already scarce in the region. The park's free admission policy and quality amenities make it an invaluable community resource, offering families a perfect recreational environment without financial burden.  

Al-Kanayat Park provides all necessary facilities for families to enjoy outdoor time surrounded by nature. Wooden benches and tables are distributed throughout the grounds, freely available to all visitors with no fees whatsoever - not even an entrance charge.  

Over time, Al-Kanayat Park has become essential for families seeking relaxation, offering them a rare opportunity to temporarily escape life's pressures and enjoy natural beauty. The park also features dedicated play areas where children can enjoy safe recreation under staff supervision, away from busy streets.  

The Mohammed Zaidan Development Association fully recognizes the park's important role in the community. Accordingly, it maintains strict standards of cleanliness and safety through constant management oversight and regular communication with visitors during operating hours. This commitment has made the park a reliably clean and secure environment for public enjoyment.  

Through Al-Kanayat Park, the association aims not only to provide public green space in Sidon, but to establish a model for delivering high-quality public services to all citizens. The park represents an effort to create a safe, clean environment where people can spend time completely free from life's usual stresses and burdens.
