Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) announced on Friday the opening of 33 new parks in Mohamed bin Zayed City, marking a significant expansion of recreational spaces aimed at enhancing residents’ quality of life.
The newly developed parks offer a range of amenities designed to promote an active and healthy lifestyle while fostering community engagement.
They feature picnic areas, shaded seating, and dedicated children’s play zones, ensuring leisure and entertainment options for families. To encourage fitness and well-being, the parks are also equipped with jogging tracks and designated fitness zones.
A notable aspect of these parks is the inclusion of multi-purpose sports courts catering to various athletic interests.
Residents will have access to facilities for padel, basketball, volleyball, and badminton, further supporting Abu Dhabi’s commitment to fostering a sports-friendly environment.
The initiative aligns with the capital’s broader urban development strategy, which prioritizes the well-being of residents by integrating green spaces and recreational facilities into city planning.

This includes wheelchair-friendly pathways, adapted seating areas, and accessible restrooms, making the parks more welcoming for all members of society.
Residents of Mohamed bin Zayed City have welcomed the initiative, noting that the addition of these parks provides much-needed recreational options within their neighborhood.
