Dubai Municipality has unveiled a new “Work from Park” initiative aimed at reshaping public parks into dynamic spaces that blend productivity, leisure, and nature, as the emirate accelerates efforts to support flexible work and enhance urban living.
The programme introduces dedicated work environments within parks, designed to serve entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses while maintaining the recreational value of these spaces. The initiative aligns with long-term strategies including the Dubai Urban Plan 2040 and Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
To support implementation, Dubai Municipality has signed agreements with Group AMANA and Letswork LLC. The partnerships will focus on building and operating modern, tech-enabled workspaces across public parks.
The first location is set to open in May 2026 at Al Barsha Pond Park. It will feature modular workspaces built using off-site construction methods to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and allow flexible configurations.
Letswork will manage access through its platform, offering users hot desks, event areas, podcast studios, and creative production spaces. The initiative will also include programmes to support entrepreneurs and content creators, with a focus on skill development and collaboration.
Officials say the project reflects a broader shift in how cities design public infrastructure, turning parks into multi-functional assets that support both community engagement and economic activity.
The rollout will expand to additional parks throughout the year under a public-private partnership model, reinforcing Dubai’s push to build a more sustainable, innovation-driven urban ecosystem.
