Dubai Municipality Launches 'Work From Park' Co-Working Hub at Al Barsha Pond Park

Dubai Municipality, in collaboration with Group AMANA and Letswork, has introduced the city's first 'Work From Park' initiative at Al Barsha Pond Park, offering co-working spaces alongside wellness activities.

Dubai Municipality has launched an innovative 'Work From Park' initiative at Al Barsha Pond Park, transforming the green space into a multifunctional hub where residents can work, meet, and engage in wellness activities. This project, developed in partnership with Group AMANA and Letswork, aims to integrate professional work environments with recreational and community facilities, responding to the growing demand for flexible work solutions and improved work-life balance.

Facilities and Pricing

The co-working facility offers three distinct zones to cater to various needs:

  • Open co-working area: Available for day users without advance reservation.
  • Meeting rooms: Two rooms, each accommodating up to nine people, can be booked online. These are priced at AED 200 per hour or AED 1,200 per day.
  • Dedicated workspace suites: Designed for longer-term members, offering fixed desks and private offices. Members receive entry cards for access and can leave belongings overnight. Private offices can be booked for durations from one month to a year.

Daily access to the open co-working area costs AED 50, which includes a complimentary coffee. Letswork members can also use their existing membership credits.

Integrating Work with Wellness and Community

The initiative goes beyond traditional co-working by fostering a blend of work, wellness, and community interaction. The facility features screens displaying updates on activities such as morning yoga sessions and evening running clubs, using the park's existing amenities like tennis and football courts.

"We don't want this to be just another workspace. We want to integrate wellness into the experience." — Omar Almheiri, Co-Founder and CTO of Letswork

This approach also aims to support parents by providing a flexible workspace where they can work while their children play outdoors nearby. The project reflects Dubai Municipality's broader vision of developing public parks into dynamic community destinations rather than purely recreational spaces.

Construction and Future Plans

The workspace was constructed using modular methods by Group AMANA, through DuBox and DuPod. This involved assembling and fitting out units off-site to minimise disruption within the park during preparatory works. The concept took six months to develop, and Dubai Municipality plans to gather visitor feedback to guide future enhancements, such as adding more work pods or other improvements.
