What Makes the Al Quoz Pond Park Special
Whereas the rest of Dubai's city parks tend to be a lush oasis amidst the desert, Al Quoz Pond Park throws a massive central pond into the mix. One that you feel inclined to hang around in, when you come to run early in the morning, kick about some footy with the kids, or just sit quietly in the late afternoon as the sun sets. Its premier location is within easy reach of residents of Al Quoz, Al Khail, and Meydan, but still a quiet oasis away from city commotion. Many simply call it Al Quoz park.
