Al Gharrafa Air-Conditioned Park

Al Gharrafa Park in Al Rayyan opened in December 2021 with the country's first air-conditioned jogging and walking track, a 657-meter loop that uses cooling vents to hold the temperature between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius even in peak summer. It's open daily from 4am to midnight and free to use, making it one of the only realistic outdoor exercise options in Doha during the hottest months. The novelty has faded a bit since it opened, but it's still genuinely useful rather than just a gimmick.
