Dubai gets innovative sports fields and courts

Dubai: Dubai Municipality has announced the completion of a series of innovative sports fields and courts across public parks, recreational facilities, and neighbourhood parks. Designed in collaboration with leading international companies in the sports, food, and services sectors these sports fields reflect Dubai’s vision of creating diverse, engaging, and sustainable urban spaces, the civic body said on Sunday

The newly designed sports fields courts have been developed in key locations, including Mankhool Park, Uptown Mirdif Park, Hor Al Anz, Al Satwa, Al Barsha Lake, Al Jafilia Square, and Al Warqa Park. By integrating modern art into sports field design, Dubai Municipality said it has created multi-purpose spaces that encourage physical activity, artistic expression, and community engagement.

“These sports fields and courts are more than just playing areas; they serve as cultural and recreational landmarks that contribute to Dubai’s dynamic urban landscape,” the municipality said.

Blending sports and art

Each sports court features a unique, contemporary design that combines artistic creativity with high-quality sporting infrastructure. The courts incorporate distinctive artwork, including hand-painted designs by local and international artists, reflecting the spirit of Dubai’s vibrant culture and sports scene. Collaborating companies’ logos are also integrated into the designs, marking their support for community-based sports initiatives.

The designs of the sports fields and courts take inspiration from the specific sports they accommodate. The basketball courts, for example, feature dynamic graphics that highlight athleticism and player movement, while the volleyball court in Al Mankhool Park has been built using recycled tyres, ensuring eco-friendly construction that meets the highest sustainability standards. Carefully selected artwork enhances the natural surroundings, aligning with local environmental aesthetics and community identity while fostering a spirit of healthy competition.
