Al Nakheel Park, Al Barsha Pond Park, and Al Nahda Pond Park get recognition

Dubai Municipality raised green flags in three parks in the emirate, in celebration of receiving the Green Flag Award, which recognises parks and resorts worldwide for enhancing the efficiency of public parks management.

The municipality raised the green flags in Al Nakheel Park, Al Barsha Pond Park, and Al Nahda Pond Park.

Dawoud Al Hajri, directorgeneral of Dubai Municipality, said: “The fact that public parks are one of the most popular gathering places inspires us to improve the sustainability of their development in accordance with the highest international standards.”

Park features

The winning parks offer warm-up facilities for adults, children’s games, walkways, shaded seating, jogging and bicycle tracks, and sports arenas, in addition to conducting gardening work and providing facilities enjoyable for People of Determination.

The municipality pays close attention to general hygiene, facilities maintenance, nature preservation and heritage.

The Green Flag Award programme is managed by an environmental charity called Keep Britain Tidy.

IT is a global confirmation of the efficiency of parks and resorts through their commitment to the standards of the international accreditation programme that monitors well-managed parks.
