At the moment there are no indoor play facilities in Mamsha Al Saadiyat. Mamsha is a community with a large number of families with children. Historically residents would meet in the lobby area where children could interact but some residents complained, and security started bothering residents not to spend time with kids in the lobby anymore. At the moment when it's 50 degrees outside, all residents with children are trapped in the house all day, and they can rely only on organised playdates or driving 20min to the closest shopping mall/playground. When living at one of the most expensive properties in Abu Dhabi, this just doesn't sound acceptable. We are asking the committee to find a solution to this problem.
Some of the solutions suggested are:
1. Convert 1 of the gyms to an indoor play area. Mamsha has 9 gyms that are not heavily used
2. Use part of the space around the pool area to build a children's center/ play area
3. Convert the current play area to indoor
If you agree that Mamsha needs an indoor play area for kids please sign this petition.
Hopefully united we can find a solution and make Mamsha a better place for families with kids.
Thank you!

I was just watching the kids staring at the door because it is way too hot to go out again and it really hit me how ridiculous this is for a place like ours. People have been messaging me to say they feel exactly the same way about the lobby situation and honestly just knowing I am not the only one fighting this is keeping me going while I try to get someone on the committee to actually reply to my emails.

I really never expected this much momentum when I started typing this out in a fit of frustration over the heat. It is wild to see so many neighbors agreeing that we deserve a spot to hang out without being chased away by security. Now I have to figure out the best way to get this in front of the committee because they need to see how many of us are actually stuck inside all day.

It would be nice to accomodate a gym in Lilac 5...There are 2 gyms facing the pool and is the center of Mamsha, minimizing the maximum distance that a neighbour has to walk to get there.
Long overdue. Mamsha should be the flagship Aldar development, its oversights like this which detract from achieving that.
I agree with indoor play room. At Nyu they have big indor play room and my kids enjoy every time we go.
Please do - one of the indoor recreational areas can be converted into a play area - we just need a few toys in there and a indoor playground
We need more kid-friendly options
Amazing initiative!
Let the children play!

We should have indoor play area for children in Mamsha . As a mother of 4 children I see is it important to have a play area for kids in our living area.
