- JEDDAH: Members of the Friends of Jeddah Parks (FJP) launched their first awareness campaign last Tuesday on the benefits of clean neighborhoods near Faisal Sport Park and Amira Park.
The parks are located near the Al-Nuzla Al-Yamaniya, Al-Qurayyat and Al-Thaalba neighborhoods south of Jeddah.
The campaign lasted for two days with the Jeddah municipality and other local and private institutions participating.
The main aim of the campaign was to spread awareness among people of the importance of a clean environment.
Campaigners say such an initiative will eliminate pollution and reflect positively on the parks established by the municipality, including Faisal Sports Park and Amira Park.
Zakiya Bundogji, deputy chairwoman of FJP, thanked all those who participated in the campaign, which is considered the first step toward spreading a message about the benefits of a clean environment.
She was happy that the majority of residents in the local neighborhoods had participated in the campaign.
“I thank the people in the neighborhood for participating. I hope that this campaign will be the first step toward expanding our message into other neighborhoods,” said Faisal Sports Park manager Samir Mizjaji.
FJP’s main goal is to establish new parks and renovate neglected ones for the benefit of local neighborhoods, especially those with no green spaces.
