Safari Park
I was impressed to be honest and it really exceeded my expectations for a public recreational park. It is very popular with the locals and is relatively well-maintained compared to other public parks in Cairo, but the restrooms need more maintenance.
***Opening times are earlier than the posted ones.
You can pay for pony rides on beautiful well-groomed horses and/or a camel ride around the park and prices are quite fair in my opinion.
There's also the cutest paddle-boat ride suitable for children and adults alike over the park pond, which is also incredibly well-maintained relative to other spots I've been to in Cairo.
It is perfect for an outing on a budget. Prices for most rides at the amusement park section range from 15 - 20 EGP per ride and there's a variety of them and one in particular for 40 EGP is not for the faint of heart (my major complaint was that the conditions for operating the ride involve at least a minimum of 4 individuals and not many people were willing to).

Concord Plaza Mall
The description is misleading. This does not qualify as a plaza or a mall; it's just a bunch of shops (most of them furniture-related) and restaurants strung together. There is also a branch of Alfa Labs and El Mokhtabar.
