Al Shaheed Park Running and Walking Track

The Al Shaheed Park Running and Walking Track is a 2.4 km circuit through Al Shaheed Park in Kuwait City, Kuwait, reported as part of the Phase 3 opening in October 2026. The track passes a maze garden and shaded areas and takes about 30-45 minutes to walk. The park is flat at sea level, so there is no elevation gain and no technical difficulty, which makes it suitable for beginners, joggers and families.

Trailhead access is by road. Visitors can take a taxi or Careem from central Kuwait City for about KWD 1.5-2 (roughly $5-6.50, estimated), drive and use the on-site parking, or use KPTC and CityBus city routes at a flat fare of about KWD 0.200. No permit is required for using the track, though park opening hours and any entry arrangements should be checked locally, particularly as Phase 3 facilities were newly reported at the time of writing.

The surface is a paved park track running through landscaped grounds. Compared with the exposed Kuwait City waterfront walks, the shaded areas and planting give some relief from the sun, although exposure is still significant in the middle of the day. The maze garden is the main landmark along the way and makes a pleasant diversion for children. Since the route is a circuit, the turn-around point is simply the starting area, and walkers can leave the track at any point within the park.

Drinking water and refreshments are best arranged in advance, although park facilities may offer some amenities. Visitors usually carry a water bottle and wear a hat and comfortable walking or running shoes. There are no refuge huts, but shaded areas and covered spots within the park offer shelter. The track is most comfortable from November to March, when temperatures are mild. In the hot season, early morning and the hours after sunset are the realistic options. Because the Phase 3 opening is recent, details of paths and facilities may change, so visitors should verify current conditions before travelling.
