Two public parks in Lashkar Gah recently opened due to the efforts of USAID’s alternative development program in Hilmand province. Mirwais Nika Park is a leisure riverside park that is next to the new sports field, Ahmad Shah Baba Park. USAID is scheduled to build three more parks in Lashkar Gah; the Malalai Park designated for women is named after the female Mujahadeen martyr.
