Dubai Municipality has completed the construction of two new parks in Al Warqa 1 and 4 districts.

The facilities dubbed as "family-entertainment" parks have been built at a cost of AED 8 million.

They are part of the fourth phase of a major drive by the municipality to construct several family parks in residential communities.

Two similar projects are currently under construction in Al Nahda 1 and Hor Al Anz East areas, which are scheduled for completion in the coming months.

"As many as 70 facilities were constructed between 2019 and 2021 in Emirati housing areas. We further intend to launch 55 additional family parks and squares in the coming months, all of which will be constructed at a cost of AED 93 million," said Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality. 

"The new facilities are focused on creating spaces to host family occasions and events, including entertainment and sports activities. We also aim to provide investment spaces, such as kiosks, which will offer attractive opportunities for private sector partners and exceptional experiences for visitors."
