The amusement park attracts teenagers, adults and children.The park visitors enjoy the large inflatable bouncy castles, all-terrain vehicles and table football games.

Khaled Mohammed (resident): "The children are going about their normal daily life, we take them to centers where they teach the Koran, and places where they can play, and we take them on trips to the seaside, and everything is going well, thank God."

The admission to the park is free. The park was set up by the help of the donations collected by a civilian committee of volunteers.
