UAE: Five happiness parks coming up in residential areas

Ajman Municipality has started constructing five residential happiness parks in Al Helio, Al Jarf, Al Raqaib, Al Rawda and Al Ragayeb areas as part of a greenery project.

Work includes planting trees and flowers, constructing corridors, parking lots, installing chairs, solar lighting and a modern irrigation system.

Engineer Khalid Moeen Al Hosani, Executive Director of the Public Health and Environment Sector, said that based on the directives of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, chairman of Ajman Municipality and Planning Department, the authority plans to increase the green area annually and implement residential parks in the neighbourhoods.
