Abu Dhabi splash park to be opened to public on first day of Eid



The ‘Murjan' Splash Park at Khalifa Park will have a diversified entertainment environment with recreational facilities and educational tools

Abu Dhabi: A new leisure venue will be opened to residents of the capital on the first day of Eid Al Fitr.

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City announced on Saturday that a new splash park will be opened at Khalifa Park on the first day of Eid Al Fitr.

A splash park is a water-themed play zone for kids and adults but has no standing water of any depth. This is said to eliminate the need for lifeguards, as there is practically no risk of drowning. Splash parks are also known as spray parks, spray grounds, splash pads etc.

The ‘Murjan' Splash Park at Khalifa Park will have a diversified entertainment environment with recreational facilities and educational tools in an exciting and unique platform, primarily targeting children and families, a statement issued by the municipality said.
The statement did not mention the entry fee to the park, any proposed dress code or whether entry is restricted to families only. When contacted by Gulf News, an official spokesperson of the municipality did not have such information.

Fun hours:

In September (First day of Eid onwards)

4:00 pm to 11:00 pm

October to April:

Weekdays (Sunday to Wednesday): 10:00 am to 18:00 pm
Weekends (Thursday to Saturday): 10:00 am to 19:00 pm
