Creekside Park
This lovely, lush waterfront park is one of the city's largest - running from Al-Garhoud Bridge to Al-Maktoum Bridge - and is one of our favourites. It's very peaceful and has gorgeous views across the Creek. It also offers children's play areas, abra rides and dhow cruises, kiosks, restaurants, an amphitheatre and beaches (though it's not advisable to swim). On weekends it's like a huge sheesha café, with families spread out on blankets, puffing away. There's also a 2.5km cable-car ride (tickets adult/child around Dh25 /around Dh15 ) 30m above the shore of the Creek, with fabulous vistas.

Safa Park
This very popular park stretches for 1km from Al-Wasl Rd to Sheikh Zayed Rd. Lots of cricket is played on the wide grassy expanses at weekends, and after dark the rides (near Al-Wasl Rd) get busy. There are tennis courts, a soccer pitch, barbecues, an artificial waterfall, and a lake where you can hire paddle boats.

Za'abeel Park
This 51-hectare park, stretching over three areas, has gorgeous lakes, ponds, a jogging track, sports facilities, a club house, and retail and food facilities - not to mention fabulous views of the Sheikh Zayed Rd skyline. Work is underway on a project called StarGate, a space-themed park-within-a-park where kids can learn about technology.
