Some of the most preferred outdoor sports and nature spots in Dubai are:

Dubai Sports City: One of the city-in-a-city concepts which will be a sports venue hub, a center for sports academies along with all other related amenities such as medical facilities, hotels, schools etc.

Big Red: A large sand dune which is used for sand-boarding and four-wheel drives.

The Montgomerie : A golf course which is spread in 265 acres and was designed by Scottish star Colin Montgomerie.

Jumeira Beach and Park: A beach perfect for sun-bathing, beach sports or simply relaxing.

Al Mamzar Park: One of the few sites where one can enjoy barbecues, swimming, food stalls and plenty of open space for children. There are around 154 hotels near Al Mamzar Beach Park, so need not bother much for accommodation while here.  Some of the finest Al Mamzar Park hotels include- Palm Tree Court & Spa at Jebel Ali, Bab Al Shams, Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa and Chelsea Tower etc.
