Up for some mangrove-side strolling?

by Time Out Editors

One thing we love about Abu Dhabi is all the beautiful outdoor areas and inviting parks.

Giving you even more options for a stroll or a picnic, a newly refurbished park has opened in the city.

Al Gurm Corniche has opened at the Eastern Mangroves after renovation works in the area.

The 3.5km stretch offers picturesque views of the mangroves as well as new walkways and a cycling track.

Also doubling as an eco-tourist destination, you can spot local wildlife and is home to water-themed education stations where you can learn about the local ecosystem.

New seating areas, swings and viewing platforms have also been added to the family-friendly destination.

The free-to-access are is open 24 hours a day and there are public fitness and workout stations along the paths as well as refreshment areas and cafes.

The park is located next to Eastern Mangroves, Dolphin Park and is adjacent to Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street.
