Overview and history
Army Stadium Peshawar is an open entertainment and recreational site in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[4] The stadium was renamed to Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed Stadium in 1999, in the memory of Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed, who was martyred in the Kargil War with India.[3]
The stadium has restaurants and takeaways, shopping stalls, music stores, amusement parks and gaming facilities. These facilities have now been shifted to adjacent Sher Khan Shaheed Park Complex. Since December 2016, McDonald's has also started functioning, with the soft launch of the Food Court Complex to house Tutti Fruiti, Nan Bar, Peshawari Baithak and Chaman Ice Cream at the moment.[5][6]
