Dubai's weather is mostly hot; thus, the ideal period for a park visit is during the cold months (November to March). As for Al Khazzan Park, these are the suggested times:

• The very early hours (08:00–10:00) are perfect for those who seek tranquillit,y and it is also the time when the light is the most pleasant.
• The night (after 17:00) is the time when the temperature has dropped, the lighting has become soft, and the number of people is low.

Afternoons on weekends are still good times to go because of the shaded seating and easy access, but take care of the heat at noon.

• By Car/Ride-Share: From Downtown Dubai, the way to go is Sheikh Zayed Road and exit to Al Satwa/Al Safa Street.  The park is directly across from City Walk; therefore, drop-off is easy. 
• By Metro: Dubai Metro Red Line to Financial Centre Station, then a taxi or ride-share to the park. 
• By Bus: RTA buses 7, 12, 15, and 93 serve the Al Satwa and City Walk area, stopping at the Dubai Petroleum Corporation stops, just a short walk from the entrance.

• Arrive before 10 am or after 4 pm for the most comfortable experience.
• Bring a picnic blanket, snacks or coffee; café food is convenient, but you can create your own setup.
• Check for community events or weekend activities in the park; local bulletin boards sometimes list family-friendly events.
