Al Ittihad Park

Tucked away under the shadow of the Palm Monorail, the little Al Ittihad Park is popular with Palm Jumeirah residents, families and pet-lovers, but is open to anyone. There’s a shaded walking and jogging track, cascading water features and over 100 species of plants and herbs, many of which are labeled. There are also a few playgrounds with slides and swings for children, as well as plenty of coffee shops and cafes in the adjacent Golden Mile Galleria Mall to grab a refreshment.
