Waterfront Park at Dubai Canal

A neighborhood park improves quality of life in the heart of the city.

A forest embraces a community gathering space with connections to transport and immersive floating pool experience.
The NatureCulture team design for a new park on the Dubai Canal Waterfront provides a link to water and road-based transport, catering for nearby office workers, and provides recreational facilities for people living in the Business Bay area.
 
The park will offer residents recreational facilities including: café kiosks, an adventure play zone, a climbing tower, a skate park, a floating swimming pool, and a large lawn bowl facing a performance stage at the water’s edge.

The floating pool on the Dubai Canal is an exceptional facility for Business Bay residents—an easy way to feel truly “in” the canal, not just beside it. Sun loungers line the edge, overlooking water that catches the light and the city skyline beyond.

It’s a rare urban setting where you can spend time outdoors surrounded by nature—breezes off the water, reflections, passing birds—right in the heart of the city.
