Kidney Hill Park, also known as Ahmed Ali Park, is an urban park located in Karachi, Pakistan. The park is known for its kidney-shaped hilly terrain and is considered one of the highest points in Karachi.
The park was designated as a public area in the early 1960s. Despite this, it remained inaccessible to the public for approximately half a century due to unlawful occupation by various public and private entities. In 2019, a significant anti-encroachment campaign was launched in the city by the Supreme Court of Pakistan as a result of this initiative, all unauthorized structures within the Kidney Hill Park were removed, including a mosque, a shrine, and a graveyard.
After the park land was cleared, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) initiated a project to transform Kidney Hill Park into a modern urban forest.
The Mayor of Karachi, Wasim Akhtar, expressed that the revitalization of the park would serve as a present to the residents of Karachi.
