derived from the location of the park on the

provide the residents and tourists with recreational
places enabling them to spend enjoyable times
away from the stress of work.

harmony with the blue water of the creek,
the clear sky of Dubai and the greenery of

that distinguish the palpitating heart of
the bustling city center.
