All communities in Arabian Ranches have their own swimming pools as well as a special shaded children’s paddling pool. The facilities are enclosed and supervised by a full-time lifeguard from 7 AM through to 10 PM, every day.
Each pool is set within a paved terrace, lined with sun loungers and parasols to provide shade. There are showers and changing rooms for residents too. There’s even a special pool at Saheel 1 and Palmera 3, fitted with a chair lift for people of determination.
Residents may also appoint their own personal trainers (certified by Dubai Sports Council) to coach them at the community pool. For this, trainers are required to obtain their gate pass from the security gatehouse by submitting the necessary documents in order to gain access to the community.
Arabian Ranches boasts its very own Smart Police Station (SPS), located next to the retail centre near Alma 1.

Individuals can file criminal complaints conveniently and simply by heading to the SPS and report the matter within a few minutes with the aid of the latest and smartest policing solutions.
Located near the Al Reem 2 community gatehouse, the skate park offers a selection of custom-built ramps for skateboarders and BMX enthusiasts. The ramps are surfaced with a special coating that offers fantastic grip, whilst various rails give multiple opportunities to ‘grind’ and ‘ollie’.
Floodlights mean the action can go on well into the night and several benches provide a great spot from which to watch. There’s even an overhead canopy that shields skaters from the sun on hotter afternoons.
The skate park is open from 7 AM to 10 PM.
