Fatima Jinnah Park
Sights/Parks
Fatima Jinnah Park, also known as F-9 Park, is a public recreational park situated in Islamabad, Pakistan. The park is one of the largest covered areas in Pakistan and is named after Fatima Jinnah, the younger sister of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. The park's builder, Michael Japero, took five years to design it.
The park's open spaces are commonly used for recreational walking and outdoor sports. Occasionally, they are used for driving lessons. Because of a lack of attendance, the roads in the park are not managed so as to provide smooth driving but they are still useful in teaching young drivers how to negotiate a few tight turns.
Only a few areas of Fatima Jinnah Park are well developed, containing busy clusters of buildings, while other areas are rarely used. One of the more developed areas is the Megazone complex, which includes a sports zone with a standard-length swimming pool and tables for table tennis and snooker. The complex also includes facilities for bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and other games. It also has areas for eating and an assortment of shops for clothes, DVDs, and other items.
