E-scooters are banned from public parks in Dubai, authorities said.
Dubai Municipality said the move was to protect other park users.
They are already prohibited in most of the emirate.
"For everyone's safety at public parks, #DubaiMunicipality announced that it is not allowed to use electric scooters in public parks to avoid accidents," the authority posted on Twitter.
“Please follow Dubai Municipality’s instructions to ensure your safety and the safety of everyone.”
Dubai is running a year-long trial of e-scooters in five areas of the city in an effort to establish their safe use in the emirate.
The two-wheelers are available to rent through mobile applications and cost Dh3 to unlock and 50 fils for every minute thereafter. Riders must be aged 14 or older.
Located in popular commuter hot spots, rental stations can be found in Downtown Dubai’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai Internet City, 2nd of December Street, Al Rigga and Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
People who own e-scooters may also use them freely, but only in the five designated zones.
Using e-scooters anywhere else is illegal, and anyone found doing so could be stopped by police, authorities said.

FFP EXPLAINED
What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.
What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.
What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.
