Dubai residents have an opportunity to win Dh2,500 by suggesting names for 35 new community parks scheduled to open this winter.
Dubai Municipality has launched a competition inviting residents across 11 neighbourhoods to help choose names that reflect local identity, UAE heritage and community history.
Under the Dubai Park Naming Contest, 35 winners will each receive Dh2,500, bringing the total prize money to Dh87,500. The initiative is open to eligible residents of all ages, including children.

Suggestions can draw inspiration from native trees such as Ghaf and Sidr, traditional crafts, poetry and historic places. Names must be suitable for public use and should not include personal names, commercial brands or offensive words.
Proposed names must contain no more than two words and 50 characters.
