Dubai Creek Park is in the heart of the old city on the shores of Dubai Creek. It is one of the oldest parks in Dubai and is still as popular today as it was then… families fill the park at the weekends and the evenings. The park has the benefit of being in the cool breeze from the creek and also has loads of plants and greenery along with mazes and a nature trail. There are also barbeque areas and childrens’ play areas dotted throughout the park as well as the Children City Centre and Dubai Dolphinarium.

You can ride the cable car, ride the miniature train, rent bikes and visit the small but adequate café- you can also bring your own food for a picnic or a barbeque. There is a paved walk all along the shore of the creek which is great for roller skating… as is a large stone ampitheatre area.

there is a nominal entry fee that has to be paid to enter the park and you have to pay this even if you have tickets to Dubai Dolphinarium or are planning to go Children's City- but it's a small price to pay to spend time in this amazing park with great views over Dubai Creek and the old Dubai skyline.
