Abu Dhabi City Municipality is implementing maintenance projects at park assets and play areas in Abu Dhabi city and the surrounding suburbs in preparation for the winter season, during which the residents flock to the parks for recreation. The public parks and residential play areas offer children entertainment, play, and natural skills acquisition in a safe environment.

The municipality noted its keenness to implement and equip play areas in each park according to the highest global standards to ensure that games and play equipment are suitable and safe for children of all ages. The public parks offer multiple recreational options for children, and most contain volleyball and basketball courts, multi-purpose sports fields, and children’s games for different age groups.

Many parks also include a walking track around the perimeter, as part of efforts to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Considering the educational aspect, many parks also offer libraries for reading enthusiasts. The municipality emphasised the necessity of maintaining the appearance of parks and public facilities, and using park facilities optimally.

The parks also provide physical fitness devices tailored to people of determination, enabling them to play with their peers in a barrier-free and inclusive play area. The specific games also take the requirements of people of determination with different disabilities into consideration.

In Abu Dhabi, 26 parks have won the international Green Flag Award, including six parks who have raised the award’s flag for the first time, and 20 parks that have maintained the Green Flag Award and have been re-registered in the list of winning parks.
