Dubai: If you are a Sharjah resident and are thinking of heading out to your neighbourhood park, remember to carry your park entry card.
The park entry card is issued online by Sharjah City Municipality through their official website - portal.shjmun.gov.ae – specifically for neighbourhood parks to ensure that only people residing in the area are benefitting from the community facilities.
Here is how you can register for the card:
Find the service on the Sharjah Municipality website
Visit https://portal.shjmun.gov.ae/ and click on the ‘Smart Services’ category on the menu tab. The website will then display a list of services provided by Sharjah Municipality. Scroll down to the last option - ‘Parks & Recreational Areas’, and click on ‘Request for Issuance or Renewal of Entry Card’
