Creek Park is situated right on the edge of Dubai Creek. Its location makes it stand out from other green spaces in the city.  Being the second largest park in Dubai, it features acres of space in addition to a botanical garden and children’s play area. While it is located within the city limits, one can still enjoy serene fauna and endless views of mesmerizing water bodies. Visitors can stroll over paved promenades, watch dhows bob on the water’s surface, or enjoy shows at the theatre. What's more? You can enjoy all that the park has to offer while cycling as well. Or else, if you are not one to engage in physical activities, you can simply have a laid back picnic on the grounds. There is truly something for everyone here, and this is what makes Dubai Creek Park a great addition to your Dubai tour packages.

There are a number of conveniently located barbecue spots where you can come together with your company to enjoy some fun times. It is no wonder then that this is one of the most famous barbecue spots in all of Dubai. 

Tips for visiting Dubai Creek Park
