Situated on the perimeter of Dubai's busiest neighbourhoods, yet just far enough to warrant a car ride to it, Zabeel Park is one of Dubai's premier green escapes and a big one at that. It is oddly split in half by a major throughway, but this doesn't take from the shine of its amenities and the real purpose this park was built for: kids. With a galactic themed entertainment centre named Stargate located in the northern section of Zabeel Park, kids will have ample amusement value to last them a long while.

Additionally on offer are a jogging track, a bicycle track and a boat-for-hire service to wander around the large central lake. Eating and gathering areas are smartly shaded, with a number of barbecuing grills dotting the vicinity. The park also offers complete WiFi coverage!

Admission is AED 5 per person
