Picnic at Za'abeel Park

Having spent most of the weekend gorging ourselves on episodes of Heroes we decided on some outside entertainment last Saturday. With this in mind we hit Spinneys for some ready made sandwiches and salads, grabbed a frisbee and a blanket and headed off to Za'abeel Park.






































The park straddles Sheikh Zayed Rd (the main highway in Dubai) with a bridge connecting either side (No Geoff you may NOT have the camera):



















The park has a Space theme with a Space maze and there is a themepark busy being built (of course - it IS Dubai) in the middle of it continuing on with this theme. This funny looking thing was actually a (pretty accurate) clock:



















Throughout the park there were beautiful flower beds around various monuments commemorating ties between the Dubai Emirate and other countries. This one was for Switzerland (I think!)
