Green Zone Football & Padel

Green Zone is an open-air football and padel ground in Mirdif, a residential area in the east of Dubai close to the airport. The operator doesn't publish how many courts there are. Playtomic lists five outdoor padel courts. The listing shows the venue as open 24 hours, every day of the week. The venue's main draws are its price and convenience. Players repeatedly call it affordable and say there is ample parking. One reviewer mentions paying AED 200 for 90 minutes, which works out at about AED 133 per hour. That figure comes from a review rather than an official price list, so check the current rate. Rackets can be rented on site. Many reviewers like the team, the atmosphere and the overall value, and one long-time regular rates it above the many other courts they have tried in two years. The 181 reviews average 4.5, and the criticism is consistent. Court maintenance is uneven: one group was given a worn court with tired balls while the better courts were taken. A regular complains that, a year on, the courts still haven't been fenced off from each other, so you end up chasing balls from the neighbouring game, and that the owner sometimes interrupts matches. A smaller ground called Green Sport Club is listed nearby, so double-check your booking.
