Project story
First opened to visitors in 1982 – then known as Mushrif Central Park – Umm Al Emarat Park has been a community hot spot for both Abu Dhabi natives and visitors for over three decades. In 2013 it closed its doors for 24 months, determined to transform the iconic 145,000 square metre park for the modern day, while also honouring the legacy of the UAE’s first president, Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Appointed in a management and operation role in 2015, our leading team of experts provided a vast range of services to Umm Al Emarat Park for several years. These included the management of cleaning, food and beverage, ticketing, security, waste and landscaping, as well as pest control, health and safety, and financial management.
Since reopening, the park has been a huge success story for the client and our team alike. With more than 700,000 visitors and 35 community events in its first year, revenues over this period hit five million dirhams – exceeding the revenue forecast by an average of 200% for three consecutive months.
