Doha: Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) organised exciting and unique events in Aspire Park during Thursday, Friday and Saturday in celebration of Qatar National Day.
The programme was designed to inspire national pride and create an enjoyable atmosphere and memorable experiences for the large crowds of visitors and participants.
Activities included unique light and laser shows, performances of national music and songs in Aspire Park and cultural displays broadcast on the park’s screens.
AZF decorated its precinct with the national flag and lit up the park, trees, facilities and Torch hotel in its colours.
Visiting families praised the joyful atmosphere and strong sense of national pride throughout AZF and shows and National Day decorations.
Nasser Abdullah Al Hajri, Marketing Director, AZF, said: “Sport is synonymous with national pride, helping create a sense of belonging and build relationships within communities.
“Sport has also helped build Qatar’s profile on the international stage. We’re pleased to say that we have made progress in each of these areas by delivering our mission of enhancing performance in various sports.
“We’re delighted with the large number of people who chose to join us to celebrate the National Day at Aspire Park. We are always keen to connect with the community, specifically on special occasions, by offering a wide range of events and activities that create an enjoyable and special atmosphere.”
Nour Al Deen Mahmoud, who took part in the celebrations, said: “My family and I visit Aspire Park all the time. But National Day celebrations gave us an extra special reason to visit. We enjoyed ourselves enormously today, the laser shows in particular were fantastic. We would like to thank AZF for all it has done to organise these activities for the public. A very happy National Day to Qatar.” Shareef Khayri, another participant, said: “This is our first visit to Aspire Park after a family friend recommended it to us. We were impressed with the level of organisation and how magnificent the park is. We enjoyed shows and look forward to visiting again soon.” Children, who wore the national dress and other attire in celebration of the occasion, expressed amazement at the light and laser shows and the vibrant and striking colours that covered the park. AZF organises community events and activities throughout the year. Each is designed to make its world-class facilities and infrastructure available to as many people as possible and encourage them to participate in their favourite sport and exercise regularly. The success and quality of its programme means Aspire Zone has established itself as a leading sports and cultural destination for the local community.
