Wadi Kabir Park
A 40,000 sqm municipal park near Al Bustan with electric rides, wide lawns and a running track.
What you'll do
Wadi Kabir Park (Muntazah Al Wadi Al Kabir) is a well-established municipal park in the Wadi Kabir district, close to the Al Bustan Palace hotel area between Ruwi and Sidab β wide lawns, mature trees, colourful flower beds and a dedicated electric-rides section that's popular with younger children.
It's a straightforward, well-signed park (the municipality posts visiting hours and rules right at the gate) that works well for an evening walk, a run on the track, or a picnic on the grass away from the busier coastal parks.
Toilets and seating are provided throughout, though some visitors note the facilities can be tired by the end of a busy weekend β go earlier in the day or on a weekday for the best experience.
π Bring & wear
Small coins for the electric rides, a picnic blanket, closed shoes for the running track.
π‘ Family tips
- The Muscat Municipality gate sign lists the actual visiting hours and rules β worth a glance on arrival
