In the first half of 2025, more than 16.7 million people visited public parks and recreational areas in Dubai. This shows a big increase in how much both residents and tourists are enjoying these spaces. It also reflects the growing interest in outdoor activities and the city’s efforts to create more enjoyable places for the community.
Popular parks such as Zabeel Park, Al Mamzar Beach Park, and the Quranic Park attracted a record number of visitors. These parks have been upgraded with better facilities, beautiful landscaping, and regular events that take place throughout the year. This has made them more welcoming and exciting for families, children, and tourists alike.
During this time, over 1,485 different events and activities were organized across the parks. These included cultural programs, sports competitions, and fun recreational activities, turning the parks into lively and vibrant spots for people of all ages. Whether it’s for exercise, relaxation, or family outings, the parks have become important parts of daily life in Dubai.
This strong growth in park attendance supports Dubai’s larger goals under the Urban Plan 2040 and the Quality of Life Strategy 2033. These long-term plans aim to make the city greener, more inclusive, and healthier for everyone. By creating more green spaces and promoting outdoor living, Dubai is working to build a more sustainable and happy city for the future.
