Boulevard is a project that seems like it’s been under construction for an eternity. The first time I posted about the project it was back in 2010 and the project was already well under way by then. Boulevard is located in Salmiya right off the 5th Ring Road and opposite Souk Salmiya. It’s a large project that contains a bunch of things including a mall, a restaurant complex, parks and even a cricket field. I passed by it last April and was impressed with the size of the whole thing but the project still didn’t have any water back then so there was no greenery or lakes. But, a reader just emailed me recent photos of the place and looks pretty nice. According to the reader, Boulevard is expected to open in 3 months time but no official date has been set yet. Check out all the photos below.

Looks Nice…
seems like a commercial version of shaheed park.
that project started in 2008 and yet not finished. nice development plan. what a waste of time.
i hope they put running track and like alshaheed in this big area.. it will be great 😀
Looks Awsum! From the graphics representation, something between Green Island/Scientific Center/Hilton. Missing beach front won’t get them far from initial curiosity visitors. Will all depend how well they maintain it.
I’ve been waiting for ages for them to open. I’m hoping it doesn’t get too crowded but who am I kidding. Don’t know if there is an entry fee to the park itself but there should be one.
entry fee!! why???
I wonder how fast that water gets dirty with thrown rubbish
I wonder who the Cricket Ground is for?
For people wanting to play Cricket ofcource!
I am trying to understand your thought process when you came up with that question.
Let me rephrase – is it open to all or does it belong to some Cricket Association?
Smart Arse.
Lol I thought you meant who plays cricket in Kuwait.
As far we know the park isn’t open yet.
Supposed to be a sultan center in there, tho not sure if it’s souk salmiya side or Hamad al Mubarak side.
The original plan was that Sultan Center would open up here and close their branch near Fanar.
Duno if that is still the plan now (since this was supposed to happen in 2012).
Very happy to know about this great project 🙂
Great job Mark.
keep up the good work.
Hilton will have a company outing this coming Friday, it must beipening soon.
Off topic but the health center in the middle of Salem Al Mubarak st. should be relocated.
Looks like a nice project, a bit of a change from the regular malls we have. But let’s face it, it’ll turn out to be crowded, no parking, crazy traffic to get there and, by the standard of people who frequent this are, another disappointment.
“by the standard of people who frequent this are, another disappointment” Huh!
I was thinking the same!!
KUDOS to your thought process
I understand your concerns. I agree with your sentiment about the standards of those who frequent the sight. I would say, however, that even the grandest Taj Mahal will eventually be a disappointment for the us.

Is this a sly for my nationality.. I don’t owe debt and don’t depend on doles to sustain my showoff lifestyle.. I earn honestly and spend most of it to educate my younger generation and live within my means giving importance to basics.. if that puts you off, good riddance… enjoy your life who narrative unfortunately is not set by you
i remember passing by it everyday back when i was in high school and i’m now a senior at university! crazy how long its taken to finish but the pictures look beautiful.
I’ve had the same sentiment passing by {insert any kuwaiti place} since kindergarten.
They really should open this before the weather gets shitty otherwise what’s the point
