How to Get to Creek Park by Metro or Bus (2026)

Updated and route-checked: 20 October 2026

The easiest way to reach Creek Park by public transport is to take the Dubai Metro Green Line to Dubai Healthcare City Station (G28), then walk roughly 10–15 minutes to the most convenient park gate. A short taxi is more comfortable in hot weather or when travelling with children and picnic equipment.

Creek Park is a large Dubai Municipality park beside Dubai Creek. Choose the gate based on whether you are visiting the lawns, Children’s City or Dubai Dolphinarium.

How to reach Creek Park by Metro

1. Take the Green Line toward Creek or e&, depending on your starting point.
2. Exit at Dubai Healthcare City Station (G28).
3. Use the station exit closest to Dubai Healthcare City and Creek Park.
4. Walk toward the selected park gate or take a short taxi.

If starting on the Red Line, change to the Green Line at BurJuman or Union. BurJuman is usually the more direct interchange for Dubai Healthcare City.

Which gate should you use?

Creek Park has several entrances, commonly identified as Gates 1, 2, 4 and 5. The best gate depends on your destination and current access arrangements.

• Children’s City: navigate directly to Children’s City rather than the centre of the park.
• Dubai Dolphinarium: use the venue’s confirmed entrance and performance-time instructions.
• Picnic and barbecue areas: check your booking or park map for the closest gate.
• Creek-side lawns: ask the gate staff for the shortest internal route.

Attractions inside Creek Park may charge separate admission in addition to the AED 5 general park fee.

Reaching Creek Park by bus

RTA buses serve Dubai Healthcare City, Oud Metha and surrounding roads. Routes and stop assignments change, so enter the exact park gate or attraction in the RTA Journey Planner.

A bus may reduce walking from some starting points, but Metro plus a short taxi is often simpler for first-time visitors.

From Downtown Dubai

Take the Red Line from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall toward Centrepoint, change at BurJuman to the Green Line toward Creek and exit at Dubai Healthcare City.

From Dubai International Airport

From Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, take the Red Line toward Expo 2020/Life Pharmacy, change at BurJuman to the Green Line toward Creek and exit at G28. A taxi can be faster when several people travel together.

Buy only through official channels or at authorised park facilities. Keep in mind:

What to do inside Creek Park

Children’s City

An educational attraction designed for children, with interactive science, nature and culture exhibits. Check its separate hours, ticket price and age suitability.

Dubai Dolphinarium

An indoor attraction with scheduled shows and experiences. Book through the official venue and arrive early; show admission is separate from park entry.

Picnics and barbecue areas

Creek Park is popular for family picnics. Barbecues should be used only in designated areas and in line with current Municipality rules.

Cable car and park facilities

Some older guides list the Creek Park cable car as a guaranteed daily attraction. Operations can be seasonal or interrupted, so confirm availability at the park rather than planning the visit around it.

Best time to visit

November to March offers the most comfortable outdoor weather. In warmer months, arrive early or late and minimise the walk from the Metro.

Weekend evenings are livelier but busier. Weekday mornings are better for quieter lawns and easier parking.

Accessibility and family tips

Dubai Healthcare City Metro Station and the park provide accessible facilities, but the distance between them can be tiring. Consider a taxi for:

• Wheelchair users who want the shortest gate transfer.
• Families with strollers or small children.
• Visitors carrying coolers, picnic equipment or sports gear.
• Summer visits.

Bring water, sunscreen and hats, and follow park rules on food, bicycles, pets and cooking equipment.
