Chaired by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, the Sports Council’s ‘Dubai Pulse’ initiative has also spearheaded the drive for another eight cycling tracks in addition to the three already built, which will be ready by 2015.
Additionally, new playgrounds and pitches will be added to the “two to four playgrounds that already exist for the city youth,” said the Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, Dr Ahmad Al Sharif.
Talking about the new cycling tracks in the works, Al Sharif said: “We have already opened a 74km cycling track, with another 18-km stretch through the residential areas in Jumeirah.
The existing 104km cycling tracks in various parts of the city is part of the Dubai Bicycle Master Plan, which aims to provide 850km of strategic bikeways in central business district areas and newly developed localities.
