Dubai Municipality has joined forces with Deliveroo to revamp a local cricket pitch and
basketball court at Hor Al Anz Community Playground.

With the support of Dubai Municipality, Deliveroo aims to create inclusive experiences
for riders and the wider community. To celebrate the inauguration of the spaces, a
group of Deliveroo riders took over the field for a friendly cricket match.

Ahmed Ibrahim AlZarouni, Director of Public Parks and Recreational Facilities
Department at Dubai Municipality 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 revamp and beautify the cricket pitch and basketball court reflects our
shared vision of ensuring well-being and happiness for members of our community.”

Taghrid Oraibi, Head of Communications at Deliveroo Middle East said, “Working
closely with Dubai Municipality, our mission was to enhance spaces in Hor Al Anz for
both the community and delivery riders, 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.”

Inspired by a shared commitment to community well-being, Dubai Municipality and
Deliveroo are blending functionality and artistry to transform recreational areas turning
them into visually captivating landmarks that reflect the dynamic spirit of Dubai.
