“This falls in line with the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and Chairman of the Executive Council, to improve the quality of life for citizens and provide them with the best services possible.
“As many as 70 facilities were constructed between 2019 and 2021 in citizen housing areas. We further intend to launch 55 additional family parks and squares in the coming months, all of which will be constructed at a cost of AED93m.
“This project is part of the Municipality’s unwavering efforts to build public parks and distinctive recreational facilities that will contribute to raising the standard of living and the bar for luxury in the Emirate.
He added: “Currently our goal is to establish four family squares, out of which two have been completed in Al Warqa 1 and 4 districts.
“The construction for the remaining two is underway in Al Nahda 1 and Hor Al Anz East, which are scheduled to be completed in the upcoming months.”
The new family entertainment squares in the Emirate are focused on creating spaces to host family occasions and events, which include a variety of entertainment and sports activities.
The Dubai Municipality also aim to provide investment spaces, such as kiosks, which will offer attractive investment opportunities for private sector partners and exceptional experiences for visitors.
The design of family spaces is in accordance with the Dubai Code for Qualified Environment, providing suitable spaces for people of determination.
