One of the building blocks in the creation of a sustainable community on Yas Island is the building of schools. Through ALDAR Academies, ALDAR is committed to building a network of prestigious schools across the UAE including a number of primary and secondary schools being planned for Yas Island.

In addition, Yas Island will feature a public hospital and numerous medical centres. Police and fire stations will also be located on the island, as well as community facilities such as libraries and community centres. Last but not least, Yas Island will have a number of public parks and play areas, which will serve both visitors and residents of the island.
