The redevelopment of Mushrif Central Park, formerly Mushrif Park, will shortly commence on site and transform the existing park, open only to women and children, into a park for the entire community. 
Al Ain Properties has been appointed as developer of Mushrif Central Park. The construction contract of approximately AED179mn has just been awarded to Dhabi Contracting LLC with site works expected to be completed in 22 months.
The park’s renovation follows extensive consultation carried out with many stakeholders, including local community groups, government agencies and correspondence with over 70 local schools.
The park is expected to reopen in early 2015. Once opened, Mushrif Central Park will be ‘The People’s Park’ serving all communities with distinct opportunities for visitors to explore unique venues and experience a new landscape. Some of the new features include a Children’s Garden, Performing Arts Venue, Botanic Garden and Shade House, an Evening Garden and a Petting Zoo.
Abdul Aziz Husain Ahmed, CEO of Al Ain Properties said: “Our partnership with Abu Dhabi Municipality offers us an opportunity to connect communities through the environment and landscape.”
