As the name suggests, Creek Park sits right on the edge of Dubai Creek – making it really stand out from other green spaces in the city. It’s also the second largest park in Dubai, with vast acres featuring botanical gardens and children’s play areas.
Although this retreat is in the center of the city, you can enjoy serene lawns and endless views over the water. Stroll along the paved promenade, watch the dhows bobbing on gentle waves, or enjoy a show at the theatre. You can even explore the park by renting a bike for just a few dirhams. Popular with picnickers, there are plenty of free barbecue spots spread across the park.
There are many things to do with the family such as mini golf, go-karting, and enjoying the numerous playgrounds for kids. In addition to all these facilities, Creek Park is also home to the Dubai Dolphinarium, where visitors can sit down to a fun-packed program of dolphin tricks and seal stunts. After the show, head to the Children’s City – an indoor ‘edutainment’ center.
The park especially caters to those with special needs, referred to as People of Determination in the UAE, providing them with free entry as well as easy access to most of the attractions. Carefully designed passageways, parking spots, recreational areas, and amenities make this park a breeze to move across and a treat for everyone.
