Dubai launches 102-metre bridge at Mushrif National Park

Dubai Municipality has opened a new 102-metre bridge at Mushrif National Park, reported Dubai Media Office on social media.

This new path enables an uninterrupted and safer mountain biking journey, adding a distinctive new feature to one of the city’s leading outdoor and nature destinations.

The bridge features two dedicated lanes, one for mountain bikers and another exclusively for hikers, it added.

The project forms part of Dubai Municipality’s continued development of Mushrif National Park as a destination for outdoor recreation, adventure and active lifestyles. It responds to the growing popularity of mountain biking, hiking and nature-based activities by providing purpose-built infrastructure that makes these experiences safer, more accessible and more enjoyable.

As Dubai’s largest forest and one of the emirate’s key green and recreational destinations, Mushrif National Park attracts families, mountain bikers, hikers, fitness enthusiasts and nature explorers. The new bridge strengthens the park’s wider mountain biking and hiking infrastructure while improving access across its trails and natural areas.

Bader Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, said: “The new bridge represents a significant addition to Mushrif National Park and transforms the mountain biking experience by creating a continuous connection between two sections of the trail. Mountain bikers can now continue their journey without having to stop and cross a road used by vehicles, providing a safer, smoother and more enjoyable experience through one of Dubai’s most distinctive natural environments.”

He added: “Our approach to developing Mushrif National Park goes beyond adding individual facilities. We are creating an integrated outdoor destination where adventure, nature and active lifestyles come together. This bridge strengthens that experience and adds a new landmark to Dubai’s largest forest, giving residents and visitors another reason to explore and engage with the park.”
