Five parks in Dubai to chill at this weekend
Throw down a blanket and plonk yourself on the grass, it’s finally time to get outside…
The winter season is officially here and what better way to wile away the weekend than soaking up the sun among the green grass (or white sands) of one of Dubai’s parks.
Here are five parks in Dubai you’ll find us at…
Al Barsha Park
Good for: Running
A running track and lots of frames, bars and exercise machines will keep you huffing and puffing around this park. The central pond means there’s usually a cool breeze. There’s also a snack bar and loads of parking.
Al Barsha 1, Dubai. Taxi: next to Al Barsha Mall
Zabeel Park
Good for: Working
If you’re keen to get some fresh air but it pains you to loosen your grip on your laptop, Zabeel Park is for you as it has Wi-Fi.
Zabeel 1, Dubai. Metro: Al Jafiliya

Burj Park
Good for: Gazing
Rest shopped-out feet on this lush lawn beside the world’s tallest building. Oh, and the world’s tallest fountain. Good views all around then.
Downtown, Dubai. Metro: Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall
Al Mamzar Beach Park
Good for: Contemplating
This secluded park sits on a small headland at the mouth of Khor al-Mamzar near Sharjah. There are plenty of open spaces with barbecues and kiosks that lead out to white-sand beaches.

Bark Park
Good for: Dogs
Since it’s illegal to have your dog off-leash, the aptly named new Bark Park is a haven for pet owners. The desert park is a fully enclosed, clean and private area for dogs to exercise and socialise off their lead, it’s certified and approved by the Dubai government. It has some fun obstacles for dogs to play around and a paddling pool, plus it’s well lit at night
