Named after the Mother of the Nation, H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, chairwoman, General Women's Union (GWU), president of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, supreme chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), and the woman behind the initiation of Emirati Women’s Day, Umm Al Emarat Park was originally known as Mushrif Park and the entrance was exclusive to ladies and children.

Over the years, Umm Al Emarat Park has introduced various initiatives in collaboration with Emirati women with the overall aim to serve Abu Dhabi’s residents and visitors by providing community-focused educational and recreational venues and experiences.

The Park has been the venue for several successful events and festivals, including Miami Vibes, The Rage, The Park Market and talent-filled art exhibitions. These events have showcased the strong presence of Emirati women entrepreneurs and their volunteering efforts.

The Park Market, hosted annually, provides support to Emirati-owned businesses. This year, Umm Al Emarat Park will host 12 female entrepreneurs who will showcase their crafts through textiles, toys, crochet, flowers, food and beverages, and perfumes.
