While I happened to be surfing the net for events happening and places to visit last weekend, I came across Abraj park or Water Towers park in Adaliya. How come we haven't heard of this place before I asked my husband. We've always wanted to take pictures of the Water Towers from close quarters. Before we knew, we were headed for Adaliya. Its not a huge park but certainly a beautiful one, well maintained, with lots of green grass, flowers, trees, children's playground and a football court. The weather at this time of the year is great. Plenty of families were picnicking on the grass, just outside the Water Towers and across the park. The 9 water towers are right inside the park with a fence surrounding them. You can watch the sunset at the park with the towers in front of you and the sun setting in the yonder. It's a magnificent view. After sunset, the lights come on and towers start to glow with the light effects. There is a little fountain in the park, a favorite spot for taking pictures with the towers in the background. If you look at the skies towards west, you will see planes flying beyond the water towers every 7 minutes or so; a nice sight especially during sunset.
Wondering where to spend a nice weekend with your family? You know where to go.
Entrance : Free.

Looks like a nice park. Have never been either. Only knew about it because Emina posted once when they went there. Hope it is still nicely maintained. Will have to go there this winter.
