The park provides much-needed green space for the new town of Ain Témouchent.
It has
three components, each with a distinct character.
The lower part is designed along the
lines of a traditional Islamic garden, and incorporates a botanical garden with specimens
of almost all the ornamental plants found in Algeria.
The upper part uses the same
construction materials but has a totally different function, as an urban forest providing
refreshing shade during the summer.
The third part has play equipment for children and
spaces where the older inhabitants of the town can meet and relax.
