The Block Park in Dubai.

Continuing the theme about different nice places and neighborhoods in Dubai - a park with the brutal name The Block, located on the waterfront in Dubai Design District.

The park was built for the recreation of the residents of the Design District free-zone. It is hidden from the office buildings and the hustle and bustle of the business district by colorful giant concrete blocks taller than a man.

Hiding behind them among the palm trees is a skate park, a basketball court, a vorkout area, a beach volleyball court, tennis tables, a rock climbing wall, a promenade with a water cab stop and a waterside restaurant. The freezone website refers to this concept as an urban beach park. The architecture is desert INK.

Even the playground here is urban style - safety netting, tires, concrete pipes, a fence of colorful metal sleepers. But it all looks interesting and with a sufficient level of controlled risk, which is important for children during play - definitely better than colorful plastic slides, which can often be found in Russian parks.

Particularly eye-catching is the sports area, where massive concrete blocks support all the exercise equipment. Concrete, metal, sand - a true urban scourge.
