Summary

An Iraqi policeman watches the ceremony of the grand opening of Dover Park in the Qahira neighborhood in the Adhamiyah District of Baghdad, Oct. 28, 2008. Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers who spearheaded the reconstruction efforts, turned the park over to local leaders. The park is the first public park in the neighborhood. It has a small pond with a generator run fountain, benches, solar lights, several swings, slides and see-saws. There is a tiled path lined with flowers and new grass has been planted. A gardener and a security guard will be hired. The park is intended to be self-sufficient; seven small kiosks will be rented to vendors. The rent will provide an income stream to buy fuel for the generator, pay the salaries of the staff and any other expenses.
