The weather is cooling and more of us are heading outdoors to enjoy the winter months.
If you’re big on fitness then it’s likely you’re leaving the gym behind to venture outdoors for a walk, run or a cycle now temperatures have dropped.
Offering another option for runners to enjoy stretching their legs, a new track has opened in Abu Dhabi.
Umm Al Emarat Park has introduced a new 1.2km green jogging track at the park.
Flanked by palm trees and plants, the new track makes its way around the green space from the promenade to the amphitheatre.
“We are excited to launch the green jogging track at Umm Al Emarat Park, adding yet another wellness activity for our community to enjoy in nature,” said Rasha Kablawi, head of Umm Al Emarat Park’s Corporate Affairs and Communications Department.
“We take a lot of pride in being a natural space for visitors to invest in their health through play, exercise and relaxation, and we look forward to seeing the jogging track act as a scenic green space for runners and joggers to work their bodies while they relax their minds.”
Want to do a serious workout? Peak Fitness Gym has also opened at the park with a range of fitness equipment on-site.
It’s time to dig out the running shoes.
