There’s a new park coming to Abu Dhabi, and it’s in the form of 46,000 square metre Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Park.
The new park comes as a redefinition of the former Khalidiya Park. A redefinition which is costing a whopping Dhs94 million.
The park’s new values centre around sustainability, economic diversification and growth, improved social and community facilities, the promotion of Arab and Emirati culture and a focus on contemporary living.
At the giant park guests will be able to make the most of an urban forest, lush greenery, an amphitheatre.
On top of that, there’ll also be a cycling track, natural play areas, fitness zone, and Women’s Centre ‘for the next generation of female entrepreneurs in the region’.
Paul Priest, Director and Head of the park’s designer Benoy said: “Benoy strives to design environments that are accessible, all-inclusive and serve to bring the community together.
“As an open-air, multi-dimensional destination, Sheikh Fatima Bint Mubarak Park will represent a completely new typology for Abu Dhabi; one that will appeal to a broad spectrum of demographics to promote cohesion among communities.”
