While establishing these recreational projects, Sharjah Municipality has taken into consideration the valualble directives of H.H. Shiekh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohamed AL Qasimi – Sharjah Ruler, to provide open areas with children's recreational facilities, special places for families and ladies, in order to make them as social clubs for Sharjah society where people can meet and enjoy the open air. Green areas have been created to provide sports facilities and space for a range of outdoor activities such as football, basketball, walking, and jogging.
