Dubai residents have an opportunity to win Dh2,500 by suggesting a name for one of 35 new community parks set to open this winter. Under a new initiative launched by Dubai Municipality, residents of 11 neighbourhoods can submit their ideas, with 35 winning entries to be selected.

The 'Name Your Park' initiative, launched by Dubai Public Parks, invites residents of all ages to propose names inspired by UAE heritage, local identity and the stories that make their neighbourhoods unique. Each selected entry will receive Dh2,500, with a total prize pool of Dh87,500.

Residents have until December 9 to submit their suggestions online. The winning names will be officially announced at a public event in December.

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. Eligible residents can submit their proposed park names online through the Dubai Municipality website.

From children and parents to long-time residents, everyone living in the eleven neighbourhoods can take part in naming the new parks opening this winter season.

Whether it is a name inspired by a childhood memory, the history of a neighbourhood or a feature that makes an area special, residents are encouraged to come up with ideas that could become part of their community for generations.

Mohamed Ahli, director of the Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Department at Dubai Municipality, said, "Every neighbourhood in Dubai has its own identity, history and stories, and we want our new parks to reflect the character of the communities they serve."

"Through 'Name Your Park', we are inviting residents to share their ideas from the very beginning, whether from children, parents or those who have lived in the neighbourhood for many years.

While residents can get creative with their suggestions, Dubai Public Parks has outlined six criteria that names must follow.
