One of Dubai's oldest parks, pocket-sized Al Khazzan has been given a total reboot and is now entirely solar-powered, giving it the right to the title to being UAE's first 'zero-energy' park. It incorporates a landmark water tower and the laid-back Inn the Park cafe with a library stocked with vintage Middle Eastern magazines. There's also a shaded area next to the playground where parents can hang.
