Brand new eco oasis Al Fay Park opens on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi
Created to simulate a forest-like ecosystem…
His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was present at the opening of a new urban oasis on Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island.
Al Fay Park covers a 27,500 square metre area of verdant abundance, with over 2,000 types of plant. Chief among them is the emblematic ghaf tree, the national tree of the UAE.
The park was engineered to recreate a forest ecosystem within a modern urban development. And it’s hitting sustainable goals too, with a high tree density combined with an innovative irrigation system, means that it’s a concept that requires 40 per cent less water than traditional garden set ups.
