Dubai Municipality has announced plans to invest Dh348 million in developing 35 new parks across the emirate in 2026. This initiative aligns with the Dubai Parks and Greenery Strategy and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, aiming to enhance urban living and well-being.

Designs emphasize open, unfenced layouts promoting daily use and inclusive access. Park amenities will include children's playgrounds, sports facilities, running and cycling tracks, water features, and shaded seating areas.
Environmental resilience is a core focus, incorporating expanded tree planting, climate adaptation measures, and the use of recycled irrigation water and renewable energy. Operations will leverage AI and robotics for resource efficiency and ecological balance. This extensive development is part of a larger roadmap aiming for over 120 parks and 200 sports facilities by 2030, with an estimated investment exceeding Dh4 billion.
