Master Plan for Yas Park, Al Bateen Gardens neighbourhood in Abu Dhabi (UAE)
Project Highlight: Yas Park, nestled in the heart of the Al Bateen Gardens neighbourhood along Sheikh Zayed Street in Abu Dhabi, is a testament to sustainable design principles and the preservation of natural landscapes. This urban sanctuary seamlessly integrates arid and semi-arid local plantings, water-sensitive urban design, and integrated water management methods, along with playgrounds, and microclimates to combat the urban heat island effect and provide a serene escape from the desert environment.
The master plan of Yas Park showcases a harmonious blend of green spaces, play areas, and indoor sports facilities, meticulously arranged to create an inviting atmosphere. Water bodies, native flowers, and trees adorn the landscape, offering visitors a tranquil retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. An underground parking lot ensures convenience without compromising the park’s natural beauty.
Within the park’s central area, native green spaces and limited water features beckon visitors to reconnect with nature. Buildings housing various activities, from sports events to cultural performances, enrich the landscape, fostering opportunities for recreation and community engagement. Native flower beds, walkways, and underground parking seamlessly integrate with the park’s design, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
A sports complex within Yas Park provides a dynamic setting for athletic pursuits and leisure activities. Concrete structures frame a central circular performance area, surrounded by lush grass fields and buildings. Parking lots, water features, and flower show areas complement the landscape, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
