Dubai: What if the park where your children play or your family spends winter evenings carried a name you suggested? Dubai residents now have a chance to name one of 35 new community parks opening this winter — and win Dh2,500 for their creativity.
Dubai Municipality has launched the ‘Name Your Park’ initiative, inviting residents across 11 neighbourhoods to suggest names that reflect their community’s identity, history and UAE heritage.
The competition is open to residents of all ages, including children, with a total prize pool of Dh87,500. Each of the 35 winning entries will receive Dh2,500, and the selected names will become part of Dubai’s growing network of public parks.
Residents have until December 9, 2026, to submit their suggestions online, while the winning names will be announced at a public event later that month.
Which neighbourhoods can participate?
The initiative is open to residents living in Al Khawaneej, Al Mizhar, Muhaisnah, Al Barsha, Al Warqa, Mirdif, Nad Al Sheba, Al Margham, Al Lisaili, Al Nahda and Ghadeer Al Tair.
