Horsh Beirut Lying between Badaro area, Kaskas, and facing the Hippodome, Horsh Beirut is Beirut's biggest breathing area and park. A public property since the Ottoman times, Horsh Beirut was rehabilitated in 1992 at the end of the civil war with the help of Region Ile de France, but has been closed since 2002. The municipality justifies its decision by stating that the park isn’t yet equipped. The pine park- Horsh el Sanawbar- as it's also called, was a part of Beirut pine forest: 1250000m2 in 1969 to 800000m2 in 1967; today it’s a triangular shape around 300,000m2, of which 30,000m2 are open for public use. Horsh Beirut is packed with pine trees. With a playground for children, tennis courts, basketball courts, football fields, picnic tables and lots of open green space to run and play, the Pine Forest is filled with acres of outdoor entertainment. At present time, structure and renovation work is being conducted in order to prepare the Horsh's opening to the public.

The only place in Beirut where you really feel connected with nature. We DESPERATELY need these green areas to be extended widely and multiplied all over the capital and the whole country. Enough of concrete and skyscrapers! Not much flowers yet (some bird of paradise plants, Lantana, etc. ). Mainly filled with pine and olive trees but also Arbutus unedo (the strawberry tree called arbousier in French), pepper plants "poivrier", bougainvillea trees, mushrooms, cacti, etc. The place is well maintained and taken care of. It is very clean during the week, too crowdy during weekends. This miniature forest gives you a unique Mediterranean feeling inexperienced anywhere else in the world. It is definitely a priceless treasure to be preserved and EXPANDED by us for the future generations. Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!

Horsh Beirut is a great green oasis in the heart of the city. It’s a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some fresh air. The park is well maintained with clean paths, shaded areas, and playgrounds for kids. It’s a nice place for a walk, a picnic, or just to relax and enjoy nature. If you’re in Beirut and need a break from the city, Horsh Beirut is definitely worth a visit!

This is good to have such a green zone open to public for free. This area could have been a great recreational zone in the heart of Beirut. A lot of effort is necessary to upgrade it to the level and to improve the quality of services. Public awareness on cleaning is also needed, as well as enforcement.

This park is the answer for those who say Bei has a lack of greenspaces. It has a bit of a dark history and a bit of complexity in how it was initially used as an exclusive park for expats but now it is open to all and makes for a pleasant walk even if it is starting to look rundown and shabby.
