Four new neighbourhood parks for Dubai
As part of its ongoing efforts to spread greenery and set up recreation space for residents in the city, the Dubai Municipality has approved tenders worth over Dh33.4 million for constructing four new neighbourhood parks in Al Muhaisina 1, Abu Hail, Al Qusais 2, and Al Garhoud.
The projects were recently given the go-ahead by Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance and Chairman of Dubai Municipality, said Hussain Nasser Lootah, Acting Director-General of Dubai Municipality.
Lootah noted that the upcoming projects would add a total of 6.37 hectares of greenery to the urban landscape in line with the Strategic Plan for Dubai Municipality (2007-2011) which seeks to increase the per capita share of greenery to 23.4 square metre and raise the total area of cultivated land to 3.15 per cent of the total urban land by 2011.
"The neighbourhood parks are being set up at various locations in the city taking into consideration the growing needs of people for more recreational space. Works on these parks would begin very soon and they would take nine to 10 months to complete," said Lootah.
He added that each of the parks would include several facilities and features such as dedicated playgrounds for children in the age groups of 2-5 and 6-12 years, which would be provided with shaded areas for resting in between the games.
"The playgrounds have been designed taking into consideration children with special needs. Appropriate games have been chosen to suit their tastes and needs. There will be a main play area consisting of football, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, a main plaza with shaded sitting areas, and a vast green area. There will be a jogging track inside the parks as well.
The neighbourhood park in Al Muhaisina 1 would cost nearly Dh11 million and it has an area of 1.7 hectares.
The park in Abu Hail would cost Dh7.8 million and it would be built in two phases with the first phase covering an area of 1.09 hectares and the second phase covering an area of 1.86 hectares.
This park would have a sports building with gymnasium and changing rooms. The sports facilities would include a grassed mini-football field, basketball court, volleyball court, cricket practice area, jogging track, and a cycling track.
The park in Al Qusais 2 would cost Dh7.84 million and it has an area of 1.06 hectares. Its features include an entrance block with a mini mart.
The park in Al Garhoud would cost Dh6.75 million. Its special features include a tennis court, apart from the normal features of the neighbourhood parks. Source
