Dubai Municipality and Deliveroo have jointly completed the renovation of a local cricket
pitch and basketball court at the Hor Al Anz Community Playground, as part of the
municipality’s focus on enhancing public facilities and developing recreational spaces for
residents and visitors to improve the quality of life in the Emirate. The initiative also bolsters
Deliveroo's efforts to offer unique experiences to both community members and its team of
delivery executives.

Ahmed Al Zarouni, Director of the Department of Public Parks and Recreational Facilities,
said, “Hor Al Anz Community Playground is one of Dubai’s oldest community spaces located
in the heart of the city. Working with Deliveroo to renovate and enhance the basketball court
and cricket field reflects our strategic focus on creating a visually captivating community with
integrated facilities. The initiative advances our mission of creating public and recreational
spaces that maximize community members' sense of well-being and happiness, while also
raising the standards of living in the Emirate of Dubai."

Taghrid Oraibi, Head of Communications at Deliveroo Middle East, stated, "Working closely
with Dubai Municipality, our mission was to enhance spaces in Hor Al Anz for both the
community and our delivery executives, who have a shared love for cricket and basketball.
Embracing art, diversity, and the dynamic spirit of Dubai, this project transforms communal
areas into vibrant hubs where residents can come together, engage in play, and contribute to
shared experiences. We hope we have added a special touch of joy to the community by
creating these unique spaces.”

Through the renovation project, Dubai Municipality and Deliveroo combined functional and
technical performance to transform public areas into iconic landmarks that reflect the spirit of
the Emirate of Dubai, with a shared commitment to enhancing the well-being of the
community. In celebration of the newly renovated playgrounds, a group of Deliveroo drivers
also played a friendly cricket match.
