When the outdoor
calls…
Exploring your community is more fun
now - a dedicated cycling and
pedestrian track is here just for you!
The 4.5 km cycling trail and 7.5 km
walking trail stretches across the
boulevard in Emaar South, near the
boundary fences and takes you on a
stunning trek across your community.
The strong and durable interlocks
with excellent grip make it easy for
people of all ages and abilities to walk
and bike.
On your route, take in a hearty dose of
the evergreen neem trees and ghaf
trees dotting the estate. With ample
trail and bollard lighting, nighttime
strolls are revitalizing too.
And don’t worry if you get tired, there
are seating areas at the park located
next to the sports amenities.
Tip: Just wear comfortable shoes,
hydrate and use sunscreen. Cyclists
don’t forget your helmets and
reflective vests.

Curb appeal
They are spotted everywhere, we may
see it, but it’s usually overlooked.
However, these curbstones are vital to
road and pedestrian safety. 150 linear
metre of curbstones at the ground
floor and podium level parking areas
have been given a new boost of paint.
Why was this done?
• They get worn by the constant
treads of feet, bikes, trolleys and
strollers.
• Moisture and soil can make them
uneven causing difficulties in
balancing your weight on them.
• Broken curbstones are a tripping
hazard.
How does it help?
• Pedestrians can walk safely without
the fear of oncoming vehicles.
• Strong pavements and reduced
deflections from high traffic.
• Drivers are kept in check from
climbing onto pavements recklessly.

The Lakes, The Springs,
Emirates Living Emirates LivingGOLF VIEWS ISSUE 3 2021 COMMUNITY NEWS The residents trust me as their lifeguard and it is my duty to ensure their maximum safety Service providers are the pillars of a thriving community. With a harmonized team working round-the-clock, from cleaners, gardeners, security to electricians, plumbers, pest control staff, like cogs in a well-oiled machine to serve a common goal – resident satisfaction. But every once in a while, a team member elevates his esteem in the community. Hailing from a small village in Bangladesh, Azad Hossain came to Dubai with hopes of providing a better life for his family back home. A trained lifeguard, the 43-year old is extremely passionate about his job. “I wanted to be a lifeguard because of my passion to save lives,” he says. Little did he know this passion would be soon put to the test. Even with the unforgiving June sun blazing down, Azad maintains his post and never loses focus. Which is why he was able to notice the tiny limbs flailing in the pool – a young child was struggling. He rushed to the scene and while her stricken mother looked on helplessly, Azad kept his cool and pulled the child to safety. Because of his quick action, the eight-year-old girl was unharmed and returned to her grateful mother. Hailed as a hero, he modestly says, “I always pay attention, especially when children use the pool. The residents trust me as their lifeguard and it is my duty to ensure their maximum safety.” Your community thanks you, Azad!
