When you find yourself in the scintillating emirate of Dubai and you would like a welcome spot of green to rest and relax with the family, Creekside Park is where you should head to during a lazy afternoon or early evening. Whilst you are at it, consider checking into one of the luxury hotels that dot this famed desert-scape. Consider the Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas as this chain is considered to feature some of the best luxury hotel resorts in the city and around the world, and a prime option in Dubai would be The Palm, situated on the island of the Jumeirah. When you are aching to stretch your legs and relax with family and friends, the Creekside Park is a great option. Spanning over an expansive 96 acres, it features lush botanical gardens that are simply divine to take a stroll in. Its expansive lawns and rolling hills make it a perfect spot for the little ones to expend some energy whilst adults relax and unwind nearby. You will also find a charming amphitheatre that regularly hosts concerts and other events (check with your hotel or local newspaper for more details), as well as playgrounds for more guided play for the kids, picnic and barbeque areas, as well as some of the finest views of the surrounding creek in the city. There is also a cable car ride onside for around DHs 25, or you would even rent a bike for four people and discover the park at your (and three others’) own pace. Anglers can try a bit of fishing from the pier, and the park’s vast size means it is never too crowded.
