| 1: | Joseph Katumba: A wonderful place to relax. Beautiful scenery. The voices of birds singing is music to the ears. Very safe place with loads of fresh air, grass, trees and water. It is a very relaxing place to be and calm down with all the stress in life. Very good for those that do walking as an exercise, basket ball 🏀 is available. The flowers 🌺 can’t get any better than these. Glad I discovered this spot. Bravo to the people that make and take care of this place. |
| 2: | Vishwanath Patil: Very nice, you will really enjoy your time with your family and kids, leave the kids in the playing area (on your risk) and have a great walk. Kids will enjoy there play in kids play area and adults can enjoy the cool walk. All around is paid parking and it’s difficult finding one and if you are ok to pay little more than premium parking is available at the main entrance which you can find it very easily, its overcrowded during weekends since being located in the hear of city. all in all good for both kids and adults … |
| 3: | Shemi and Her Sweet Escapes: Peaceful and neat park, easy to access; to relax with family,meditate, and excercise. Has a small, but neat jogging track, football&volleyball courts, and a well maintained kids play area. crowded and well disciplined. Beautiful place aside the main road for family and kids to enjoy. Lots of swings, slides and seesaw, hence no need to wait. |

| 1: | Vishnu Kumar Shrestha: Nice place to visit with Family, Friends and couples. When I visited, park were quiet however looks neat & tidy. Just need to pay AED 2 for entrance. We can go there to visit any purposes like, family out, picnics. There are horse riding(even small horse for baby is available), horse cart, parks, gardens, kids playing areas, water taps and many more. Highly recommended this place to visit once. If you are looking for public transportation, No. 26 & 56 routes are reaching this place. |
| 2: | M Jasim: Huge and Cool place for family hangout within the AD city. Inexpensive entrance ticket of 2 AED. Nice touch with the mini train ride (payable extract 5 AED) inside the park, could make it better with increased frequency and better route. Has a big masjid, amphitheatre and a Water park inside (closed at the time of my visit). Needs better upkeep. Overall decent place to spend with family. |
| 3: | Riivo Roose: Amazing experience. Yes, it’s aging, but shows the humble beginnings of this country. What do you do with your newly found wealth? Build a park with a library in it. The museum unique(thanks to the Rollercoaster inside) was exciting for the kids and the 3aed train ride a true steal. Unfortunately no playgrounds and paid parking but still worth the trip. |

| 1: | saif Saeed: Beautiful park in the beach side. There are many restaurants and cafes. You can do boating in the canal. Swimming at your own risk because there no beach lifeguards on site. Skateboard place is available here and kids can enjoy inflatable slides here. Restrooms Very clean restrooms are available at several parts of this park |
| 2: | Sandeep Mahajan: Lovely park for families and kids to relax and play. Kayaking facilities also available. Long promenades both sides of the park parallel to the canal with more than adequate sitting places. Food trucks and sit in restaurants also here. And best of it is dogs are also allowed in most of the areas. |
| 3: | Chris Roshan Thomas: Love the ambience and layout of the park. First time I’ve come across separate area for kids to ride around in their scooters. One suggestion to them would be to have more accessable restrooms as I found it pretty hard to access one here. I’m coming back again for sure. |

| 1: | Vishwanath Patil: Very nice and quite park with no much public, you can find basket ball court, there is a separate area for skate board and cycling stunts, also you can find separate area for wheel Scakting too. Parking can be found easily and it’s standard parking. All in all a good place for kids and family to have nice weekend evening fun, you can carry some snacks and water along with you since there I couldn’t find anything near by to get some, so it’s better carry along with you. Rest all ok… |
| 2: | Tim Griffiths: Great location for a walk along the seafront on a warm autumnal evening. Very family friendly & family orientated. It is incredibly clean & beautifully maintained, the gardens are well kept. Not a single piece of litter, and not a hint of graffiti or anti-social behaviour, just families relaxing, enjoying quality time together and having a picnic or two. |
| 3: | Harendra Dhakrey: Fantastic park with several zones- barbeque, water park, skating, basketball court, kids playing areas like rock climbing, rope climbing, etc. Must visit place. Playground Good |
