DUBAI: Dubai Municipality has officially announced the adjusted operating hours for public parks and recreational facilities during the holy month of Ramadan. The announcement comes as part of efforts to accommodate the needs of residents and visitors who wish to spend time outdoors while observing fasting hours. The new schedule ensures that families, fitness enthusiasts, and those looking for relaxation can access these facilities at convenient times that align with the spiritual and social aspects of the month. This move reflects Dubai’s commitment to enhancing community experiences and fostering an environment where people can balance leisure with religious observance.
The revised schedule applies to a range of parks, including neighborhood parks, major recreational sites, and waterfront destinations. Larger parks such as Zabeel Park, Al Mamzar Beach Park, and Mushrif Park will have extended evening hours, allowing visitors to enjoy the cool ambiance after iftar. Meanwhile, smaller community parks will open later in the afternoon and remain accessible well into the night. This change not only accommodates families who gather for post-iftar walks but also benefits those who engage in sports and wellness activities during Ramadan.
Dubai Municipality has also implemented measures to ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors. Increased lighting, enhanced security, and additional seating areas have been introduced to cater to the influx of visitors during peak hours. Special arrangements have been made to facilitate Ramadan-related events, such as cultural performances and food stalls offering traditional snacks. Moreover, waste management teams will work extra hours to maintain cleanliness, reinforcing the city’s sustainability goals.
Residents and tourists are encouraged to follow the updated park schedules available on Dubai Municipality’s official channels. With these new arrangements, the city aims to create an inclusive and enjoyable environment where people of all backgrounds can come together during the holy month. By providing flexible timings and improved facilities, Dubai continues to demonstrate its dedication to enhancing the well-being of its communities while respecting the spiritual significance of Ramadan.
