Imkan Properties has officially opened what it says is the first of its kind premium urban park in Abu Dhabi. Sheikha Fatima Park is located within the Khalidiya District along Al Bateen Street and is said to be just minutes away from the corniche.

Historically known as ‘Khalidiyah Ladies Park’, the 46,000sqm plot has been redeveloped into a vibrant space re-imagined for the community, said a statement from Imkan. The park is said to have been split into three experiential areas — A Discovery Zone, an Adventure Zone and an Experience Zone.

Activities within the park will centre around the wellbeing of the community with a year-round calendar of wellness and fitness events, family-friendly interactive activations, a pet zone, and a retail space featuring boutique shops and food and beverage pop-ups, the statement explained.

“At Imkan, our primary aim is to enrich the lives of city dwellers by providing creatively-designed spaces, which also enhance the surrounding environment. Sheikha Fatima Park is a reflection of our ability to think innovatively as we try to protect nature and promote community well-being in line with our vision to make meaningful contribution to the development of the local community,” said Imkan’s MD Engineer Suwaidan Al Dhaheri.

Retaining its legacy, and a tribute to the mother of the nation, Sheikha Fatima Park will be a place of permanent discovery where families come together to explore the different environments within the park and engage in an active healthy lifestyle, he noted.

He also reiterated Imkan’s commitment to actively supporting the UAE’s public and private sectors through supporting home-grown brands that embrace the finest local concepts. In implementing special projects such as Sheikha Fatima Park, which has created a model for an ideal public-private partnership, we continually seek to exceed the aspiration of the local population, he concluded.
