The Department of Municipalities and Transport has opened 16 parks in the Al Shamkhah district of Abu Dhabi City as part of its strategy to improve community living conditions.
The parks provide spaces for recreation and include green areas, eight fitness zones, 25 sports courts, and 26 children’s play areas. Walking paths and seating areas have also been installed across the sites.
“The parks in Al Shamkhah are thoughtfully designed to enrich residents’ quality of life by providing safe, enjoyable environments for relaxation, socialising, and outdoor activities. In line with the Year of Community, these recreational hubs aim to strengthen bonds, encourage connection, and enhance belongingness,” Eng Khalifa Abdulla Alqemzi, Head of Capital Projects Execution – Abu Dhabi, at DMT said in a statement.
The Al Shamkhah parks follow other openings in Abu Dhabi this year, including facilities in Al Falah district and Mohamed bin Zayed City. The Department has stated that the projects support its goal of creating neighbourhoods that improve daily life in the emirate.
