There are several public gardens around Kuwait which are maintained by the Municipality. They have slides, swimgs, climbing apparatus and grassy areas for picnics or barbecues.
These are situated within many residential areas including Ahmadi, Bayan, Keifan, Mishref, Rumaithiya, Salmiya and Salwa.

Entrance is 250 fils per person and opening hours are 8am to 10.30pm daily.
