The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) is developing the emirate’s newest pro skatepark attraction which will be part of its much anticipated and upcoming AED87 million ($23.6 million) beach destination, Al Hira Beach.

The beach destination project will include children’s playgrounds, restaurants, cafes, and aims to encourage social interaction and offer parents and children safe and world-class amenities to enhance their wellbeing. Al Hira Beach will also boost the hospitality and retail sectors and support the diversification of Sharjah’s economy.

Al Hira Beach translates Sharjah’s position as one of the most family-friendly tourism destinations, as well as one of the most environment-friendly.

Scheduled for completion in Q1 of 2022, along with the opening of Al Hira Beach, the new attraction comes as part of a partnership between Shurooq and Dakota Schuetz, also known as ‘Kota’, 4-time world scooter rider champion, who - for the first time in the UAE - will be bringing his professional and inspiring design concept of the perfect pro skatepark that is accessible for all types of skaters, extreme-sports enthusiasts and children of all ages.
