Burj Park (in Arabic: حديقة برج خلیفة) is a 64 hectares (158.147 acres) urban park located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is built on a manmade island in Burj Lake and also surrounds the base of the Burj Khalifa.[1] The park is a popular spot to view the Dubai Fountains and watch the New Year's fireworks.[2][3][4]
