Family Park Opens, Spanning 6,000 Square Meters
During the award ceremony, His Excellency inaugurated “Family Park” in Al Jurf 2 area, coinciding with the Year of the Family, reaffirming MPDA’s commitment to sustainable action to position Ajman among the world’s leading green cities. Efforts are intensified and roles integrated to expand afforestation across all areas of the Emirate, relying on sustainable agriculture and irrigation methods that meet the highest international standards.
His Excellency stated that the park’s opening falls within MPDA’s strategy to expand green areas and provide a natural destination for families and visitors.

The park extends over 6,000 square meters and features a 300-meter walking track, a children’s play area, parking spaces, and shaded seating areas engineered to ensure proper ventilation and resilience to weather changes. The park utilizes smart irrigation systems based on recycled water, includes solar-powered lighting, and contains a variety of trees and shrubs.
