The water emerges from the earth at temperatures reaching approximately 40 degrees Celsius.
The park is situated at the foothills of Jebel Hafeet, which is the tallest peak in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The area is a recognized habitat for certain species of desert flora that thrive in the moisture provided by the springs.
The site was developed to harness natural geothermal activity for public leisure, a rarity in the region.
Al Ain Park, located within the Green Mubazzarah, is a geothermal-fed recreational area situated at the base of Jebel Hafeet. The landscape features natural hot springs that stream through the park, creating small brooks and pools. Visitors can access communal foot-soaking areas where water temperature is moderated for public use. The park provides expansive grassy lawns, picnic zones, and barbecue facilities set against a dramatic desert mountain backdrop. It serves as a natural desert oasis rather than a manicured city garden. The area is prone to natural thermal activity which influences the temperature of the water features.
