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.
