Umm Al Emarat Park
حديقة أم الإمارات
A long-established city park in the centre, with a plant greenhouse, shady gardens and a small animal area, ideal for a break with children.
The park was originally the Mushrif Central Park, which opened in the 1980s. After a renovation in 2015 it was renamed after Sheikha Fatima, the 'Mother of the Nation'. Highlights include the Shade House plant greenhouse, large lawns, children's play areas, a small animal farm where you can feed camels and goats, and seasonal open-air film screenings and markets. Admission is around AED 10, and it is a good spot for an evening stroll. It sits in the middle of the main island, about 10 minutes by taxi from the city centre.
