  • Night and day: Courts are open throughout the day from 10:00 to 23:00.

    Sea Breeze Play is the new outdoor facility, giving sports-minded people an opportunity of playing beach volleyball and tennis on their four flood-lit courts.

    The courts are open every day between 10:00 to 23:00, and designed to get more people active whether you’re after a social hit, a competitive match or coaching lessons.

    It’s a joint venture between Duplays, the leading organiser of recreational sporting activities in the UAE, entertainment specialists Red Events, Rackets Academy and JBR developer Meraas.

    “Since we started out 10 years ago, the Duplays mission has been to connect communities through sport, offering a place where people can take up a new hobby, get active and make new friends at the same time,” said Derv Rao, co-founder of Duplays.

    “Sea Breeze Play is a great addition to our offering. Whether it’s just being out in the sun having a hit with friends, gaining that competitive edge in one of our leagues or embarking on a team building exercise, Sea Breeze Play has something for everyone.”

    Hessa Al Kous, director of events at Dubai Sports Council, under the Hamdan bin Mohammed Community Sports Initiative, added: “The Hamdan bin Mohammed Community Sports Initiative aims to encourage people to participate in sport to help eliminate chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases.

    Bump, set and spike: Gather your friends, co-workers and family members for some fun in the sun.
