Safa Park is one of the oldest green landmarks in Dubai. The park opened in 1975 and grew through renovation phases between 1984 and 1992. It covers around 64 hectares, which is close to 158 acres, with three lakes, jogging tracks, sports courts and more than 16,000 varieties of trees and plants. The park was created as a public recreation ground for central Dubai, and over the decades a full residential district took shape around it.


The community around the park falls under Al Safa, which spans 7.2 square kilometers and is divided into Al Safa 1 and Al Safa 2. What started as a quiet district for Emirati families is now an established address in central Dubai. The Dubai Water Canal passes along the edge of the park, and branded high rise towers have come up on the Sheikh Zayed Road side, so the area today combines old Dubai calm with new Dubai skyline views.
Safa Park lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road in central Dubai. The community borders Jumeirah, Al Wasl and Umm Suqeim, with Downtown Dubai and the Jumeirah coastline both a short drive away. Residents use Sheikh Zayed Road for daily commutes toward Business Bay, DIFC and the airport, while Al Wasl Road connects the community to the beach districts.
The Safa Park area carries all three main residential formats, so buyers searching for apartments for sale in Safa Park, villas for sale in Safa Park or townhouses for sale in Safa Park will find genuine inventory in each category. The villa districts of Al Safa 1 and Al Safa 2 hold independent villas and compound villas on wide, quiet streets. Townhouses appear within the established sub communities, while apartments range from low rise buildings on Al Wasl Road to branded high rise units facing the park and canal.
The new towers add studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, duplexes with 2 to 4 bedrooms and 5 bedroom penthouses, with a limited count of 5 to 7 units per floor in some buildings for extra privacy.
Buyers should note one point before shortlisting. Villas for sale in Safa Park within the Al Safa plots are limited to UAE nationals, and the same applies to townhouses for sale inside the villa districts. Expat and NRI buyers invest here through apartments for sale in the freehold branded developments on the Sheikh Zayed Road side of the park, where both UAE nationals and foreign buyers can hold title. This makes the branded towers the practical entry route for international investors who want a Safa Park address.
DAMAC Properties is the active developer at Safa Park with two projects created in partnership with de GRISOGONO, the Swiss jewellery house.
Safa One by de GRISOGONO: twin towers of 60 and 44 floors with 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, 2 to 4 bedroom duplexes and 5 bedroom penthouses, plus hanging gardens on the facade.
Safa Two by de GRISOGONO: an 83 storey project across the street from Safa One with studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses, designed around a ruby theme.
Two Red Line stations serve the community. Al Safa Metro Station and Business Bay Metro Station are both within a 5 to 10 minute drive depending on which side of the district you live on. RTA buses run through the area with stops on Hadiqa Street near the park, at Wasl Square, on Al Wasl Road and near Safa Spinneys, and these routes link back to the metro. Careem, Uber and street taxis cover the rest. Drivers get direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road, which keeps most of central Dubai within a 15 minute run.

Safa Park is in central Dubai between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road, within the Al Safa district. It borders Jumeirah, Al Wasl and Umm Suqeim, minutes from Downtown Dubai and the coast.
Safa Park opened in 1975 and expanded through renovation phases between 1984 and 1992. Today it covers around 64 hectares with three lakes, jogging tracks, sports courts and landscaped gardens.
The area lists apartments for sale, villas for sale and townhouses for sale. New branded towers by DAMAC add studios, 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses facing the park and canal.
DAMAC Properties is the main developer here with Safa One and Safa Two, both branded by the Swiss jewellery house de GRISOGONO and positioned directly on the edge of Safa Park.
Villas for sale in Al Safa plots are reserved for UAE nationals. Expat and NRI buyers pick apartments for sale in the freehold branded towers on Sheikh Zayed Road with full title ownership.
Yes. Apartments for sale in Safa Park benefit from central location, canal views and limited new supply. Rental demand stays strong because most Dubai residents are tenants, and park facing units hold resale appeal.
Downtown Dubai, including Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, is about a 10 minute drive from Safa Park using Sheikh Zayed Road or Al Wasl Road under normal traffic conditions.
Al Safa Metro Station and Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line serve the area, along with RTA bus stops on Hadiqa Street, Al Wasl Road and near Wasl Square.
