Qatar has become home to the world’s largest ever calisthenics park, after receiving an official certification from the Guinness World Records.

The park, located at the National Service Academy’s Meqdam Camp, was inaugurated by the Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and the Minister of State for Defence Affairs Dr. Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah on Tuesday.

The opening of the calisthenics park coincided with Qatar’s National Sport Day on Tuesday.

During the ceremony, the deputy PM and minister of defence received the Guinness World Records certificate, via a video conference with the committee.

The calisthenics park is now open for national calisthenics tournaments and also for the general public to use, the statement by Guinness said.
