Umm Al Emarat Park

words Derek Issacs

We can’t get out to the beautiful Umm Al Emarat Park in Abu Dhabi but that’s okay; the park’s coming home to us all instead.

Umm Al Emarat Park has kick-started its #GrowAtHome campaign and has your health and wellness at the very heart of it.

You can now join online sessions on the park’s social channels, taking part in cooking, planting, exercising and meditating classes.

The #GrowAtHome campaign aims to bring the vibrant community and wellness activities and explorative learning through play initiatives that the Park is known for, to homes across the UAE, with the important message of staying home to stay safe.

This is what Rasha Kablawi, head of Umm Al Emarat Park’s corporate affairs and communication department had to say:

“Umm Al Emarat Park has a role to play in supporting and promoting the UAE government’s efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of our residents and community.

“Since we are unable to welcome our guests to the park for the time being, we wanted to deliver different elements of the Park’s experience and nature to homes across the UAE.”

You green fingered lot reading this can get involved with a gardening 101 series, where you’ll get to learn how to grow plants and produce their own from home.

The park’s restaurants willl be inviting you to roll up your sleeves in the cooking series, and the park’s fitness instructors and UAE-based trainers will be posting weekly workouts to get you moving.

And for yoga gurus, Seven Wellness will offer a more mindful exercise from the park’s yoga sessions.

Kablawi added: “We encourage our community, our visitors, and residents to share videos and images of the activities they are engaging in at home, under the hashtag #GrowAtHome. People can follow our official social media channels for more information on the schedule and timings of these online sessions.”
