Zabeel Park is one of the largest public parks in Dubai, covering approximately 47.5 hectares of landscaped greenery in the Zabeel area. Opened in 2005, it quickly became a favorite weekend destination for families, joggers, and tourists seeking a peaceful escape from the city skyline. The park blends nature, recreation, and iconic attractions in one convenient location.
The park is divided into themed zones connected by pedestrian bridges and walking tracks. Visitors can enjoy shaded picnic areas, barbecue spots, jogging tracks, cycling paths, and wide lawns ideal for relaxing afternoons. With thousands of trees and carefully maintained gardens, Zabeel Park offers a refreshing contrast to Dubai’s modern high-rise environment.
One of the biggest highlights inside the park is the Dubai Frame, a 150 meter architectural landmark that offers panoramic views of both old and new Dubai. Many visitors combine their park trip with a visit to the Frame for a complete experience. The structure has become one of the most photographed landmarks in the city.
Zabeel Park is especially popular during the cooler months from November to March. During this period, the park hosts outdoor markets, food festivals, fitness events, and seasonal celebrations. The famous Dubai Garden Glow also takes place here annually, attracting thousands of visitors with illuminated art installations and themed displays.
Families appreciate the children’s play areas, mini train rides, boating lake, and sports facilities. The park includes cricket grounds, basketball courts, skate parks, and open fitness spaces. This makes it suitable for visitors of all age groups, from toddlers to seniors.
The park is easily accessible by Dubai Metro via the Red Line. Max Station is within walking distance, making it convenient for residents and tourists who prefer public transport. Entry is affordable at AED 5 per person, which makes it one of the best value attractions in Dubai.
Zabeel Park also focuses on sustainability and smart technology. It was one of the first technology themed parks in the region, featuring interactive displays and educational elements about innovation. The park’s wide pathways and accessible facilities ensure a comfortable experience for wheelchair users and families with strollers.
Whether you want a peaceful picnic, a morning jog, a family outing, or stunning skyline views, Zabeel Park delivers a balanced outdoor experience in central Dubai. Its location near Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai World Trade Centre makes it easy to include in any Dubai itinerary.
