Customer Reviews

Here’s a collection of realistic and detailed reviews from different visitors who have experienced Al Nahda Pond Park with their families, friends, or on their own. These reflect both the highlights and the areas where there’s room for improvement — giving an honest view of what you can expect.

⭐ Fatima Ahmed, School Teacher, Dubai

_“We visited Al Nahda Pond Park last weekend with my husband and two kids (ages 4 and 7). The kids absolutely loved the junior playground — the slides and climbing nets kept them busy for hours, while we relaxed on a picnic mat nearby. The jogging track around the pond was perfect for an evening stroll, and the fountains added such a peaceful vibe.

One thing I would say is the restrooms near the playground could be a little cleaner, especially during busy weekends. Also, we wished there were more shaded benches in the grassy areas because it was quite sunny in the late afternoon. But overall, it’s a fantastic free spot for family outings and definitely one of our favorite parks in Dubai.”_

⭐ Ali Mansoor, Fitness Trainer, Sharjah

_“As a fitness enthusiast, I often bring my training group here for outdoor bootcamp sessions. The 1.3 km jogging track is excellent for warm-ups, and the fitness stations are good for basic bodyweight exercises. We also use the basketball and football courts when they’re free.

The best part is the community vibe — you see people from all walks of life enjoying the space, and there’s no pressure of entry fees or formal bookings unless you need exclusive court time. My only feedback would be to improve the lighting in the far corners of the park after dark, as some spots feel a bit dim during late-night sessions.”_

⭐ Sana Qureshi, Marketing Executive, Al Nahda 1

_“We had a lovely family gathering at Al Nahda Pond Park during Eid holidays. We packed our own picnic and found a nice shaded spot near the pond. The kids loved the swings and slides, and the men played football at the court, which they managed to use without booking since it was early.

The only challenge was finding parking — we arrived around 5:00 PM and the parking lots were almost full, so we had to circle around and park on the street (paid RTA zone). Next time, we’ll probably come earlier or take a Careem. Still, the park itself was clean, green, and peaceful — a great alternative to crowded malls or beaches during the holidays.”_

⭐ Rakesh Nair, University Student, Muhaisnah

_“I go to Al Nahda Pond Park often with friends in the evenings. We usually play basketball or just hang out near the pond. It’s a chilled-out place, especially after a long day of classes. The vending machines are useful for a quick drink, but I do wish there were more snack options or maybe even a small café.

One thing I appreciate is that the security staff are polite and keep things in order, especially when it gets crowded. However, sometimes you see people riding bikes on the jogging track, which is meant for walkers and runners — I think the management should put up clearer signs or monitor that better.”_

⭐ Mariam Al Saadi, Homemaker, Sharjah

_“Al Nahda Pond Park is one of the few places where I feel comfortable bringing my elderly parents. There are plenty of benches and flat walking paths for them, and they enjoy sitting by the pond watching the birds. We sometimes bring tea in a thermos and make an evening out of it.

If I could suggest anything, it would be adding more accessible toilet facilities and maybe wheelchairs at the entrance for elderly visitors. But otherwise, it’s a lovely, clean, and safe park for families of all ages.”_
