My Amman Life

Update 2024:This is my first time living full-time in Amman with kids and I’ve been trying my best to find daily activities to keep them busy outdoors. I started googling parks in Amman and I realized I didn’t find that many options easily so I wanted to start my own list that would be helpful to other parents struggling to find a safe place for their kids to play without having to pay 15 JD per kid for some indoor playground. Here is a collective list of recommended parks in Amman and then also some to avoid:
