The Good Stuff
Sports choice
The site is used for both football and cricket, including football fields and cricket net practice.
Metro access
The grounds are within walking distance of a metro station, which is useful when parking is difficult.
Welcoming staff
One long-term visitor described the staff as friendly and the grounds as well maintained and well lit.
Family setting
Reviews describe it as a family get-together spot and a place for children’s camps and games.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book early. For weekend football, book about one week ahead because slots are commonly full.
Bring water. Take water with you if possible, since one visitor found drinks expensive on site.
Check turf. Ask about the current turf condition before booking or playing, as reviews mention damage and injuries.
Plan players. The ground is relatively small, so it may suit a group of around seven or eight players better than a large team.
Use metro. Consider arriving by metro, especially at busy times when parking can be a problem.
Expect noise. During training, be prepared for possible low-flying aircraft noise.

The Bottom Line
Dubai Scout Mission in Hor Al Anz is a mixed-use training and sports venue. You can attend fire-fighting or first-aid training, play football, or use cricket practice facilities. The safety courses are described as practical rather than purely classroom-based, with theory and hands-on work covering precautions and emergency response.
For sports, the grounds suit smaller groups and regular club sessions. One review says a pitch works well for about seven or eight players, while another describes around three football pitches and cricket net practice. Football is especially popular, but weekend slots can fill quickly, so advance booking matters.
The reported example was a 300dhms hourly charge for football pitches; treat that as an older customer-reported price, not a current tariff. There are trade-offs. Reviews mention damaged or poor turf, including a warning about players being injured, and another calls the ground congested.
Facilities have also been described as old. Parking may be difficult at times, although the venue is walkable from a metro station. Bring water rather than relying on drinks sold there, and expect occasional aircraft noise during training.
Families may also find the setting useful for camps, games, or informal get-togethers.
