Capital Park, also called Al Asima Park or Capital Garden, is a green space in Abu Dhabi’s Al Danah district, close to the city centre. Ornamental coffee-pot sculptures mark the entrance, beyond which lawns, shaded paths and a central lake offer a quieter break from the surrounding streets and towers. You can stroll, use the jogging track or let children play in the dedicated areas. Fountains add to the garden setting, and the open lawns suit a picnic or family gathering.
A green space in the city centre
