Location
Umm Al Emarat Park
Join us at the Great Lawn in Umm Al Emarat Park, one of Abu Dhabi’s oldest and largest urban parks. Originally opened as Mushrif Park in 1982, this site was exclusively open to women and children until a major redevelopment took place between 2013 and 2014. The park was reopened in 2015 and renamed a year later in honor of H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood. Today, Umm Al Emarat Park offers state-of-the-art, community-centered facilities designed for recreational and educational experiences, reflecting the vision of preserving the UAE’s natural and cultural heritage.
