Overview

The Central Park of Shams Abu Dhabi, with its extensive recreational and educational offerings, will become a favoured destination for residents of both Reem Island and the city of Abu Dhabi and will undoubtedly take its place in the pantheon of great city parks

The Central Park with its broad expanses of green spans 8.1 hectares. The Central Park is a landscaped open space recreational environment. Around its edges, over 17,000 Sq Mt of retail space will ensure that fun and excitement will never stop.

A partially buried civic cultural building focused on family fun and education will contain exhibition galleries for artists as well as a botanical garden. An arena - a modern amphitheatre built into the landscape - will show movies, and hold music concerts for audiences of up to a thousand.

A community centre and restaurant complex set in terraced fashion into the sloping rear wall of the park will provide a variety of eating choices and entertainment venues to visitors. A water theatre will create a centre for the park and a distinctive visual element and important community destination.
