Al Jurf Family Park Ajman: Timings, Things to Do and Nearby Hotels

Al Jurf Family Park is a free public park on 97 Street in Al Jurf 1, Ajman, managed by Ajman Municipality. Spread over about 43,000 square metres, it has playgrounds split by age group, walking and jogging tracks, a cycling track, volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, picnic lawns and BBQ areas. The park is generally open daily from 10am to 10pm, parking is free, and it sits only a few minutes from Ajman China Mall and Al Zorah Nature Reserve. That makes it one of the easiest and most budget friendly family days out for residents of Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai.

Things to do at Al Jurf Family Park

Пусть дети играют

The children’s playground is divided by age group, so toddlers and older kids each have their own space with swings, slides and climbing frames. Parents can sit nearby on the benches and lawns while keeping an eye on everyone.

Walk, jog or cycle

Dedicated walking and jogging tracks loop around the green areas, and a separate cycling track keeps bikes away from people on foot. Evenings in the cooler months are the most popular time for a family walk or a light run.

Play volleyball, basketball or tennis

The park has volleyball, basketball and tennis courts. They work on a first come, first served basis, so arrive early on weekends if your group wants a game.

Enjoy a picnic or BBQ

Picnic lawns, tables and designated BBQ areas make Al Jurf Family Park a favourite weekend spot for families and groups of friends. Bring your own food, grill and charcoal, and plan to arrive early on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays as the best spots fill quickly.

Удобства на территории

You will find restrooms, a prayer area, small cafés and refreshment stalls, CCTV in key areas and regular security patrols, plus free parking next to the park.

How to get to Al Jurf Family Park

На машине: From Dubai, take Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) or the coastal road (E11) towards Ajman, then head inland to Al Jurf 1. The drive usually takes 30 to 45 minutes outside rush hour. From Sharjah it is around 15 to 25 minutes, and from Ajman Corniche about 10 to 15 minutes.

На такси: Ajman taxis and ride hailing apps can drop you at the gate. Just ask for Al Jurf Family Park on 97 Street. Public bus coverage in this area is limited, so a car or taxi is the easiest option.

Is Al Jurf Family Park right for you?

Al Jurf Family Park is perfect if you want a relaxed, free outdoor day with green space, play areas, sports courts and a BBQ. It is a neighbourhood park, not a theme park, so it does not have big rides, slides or water attractions. On very hot summer days, an indoor play area in one of Ajman’s malls may suit young children better.
