A large urban park under development in the King Fahd District, being built on the site of the old Riyadh airport. Designed as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 programme to improve the quality of life in the capital, the park incorporates gardens, sports facilities, a performing arts centre, and cultural venues across an area of over thirteen square kilometres.
Parts of the park are already open to the public, with walking paths, sports pitches, and green space that is unusual in a city whose parks have historically been limited. The development is ongoing but the sections already completed give a clear sense of the ambition: Riyadh is trying to create an urban park on a scale that matches its rapid growth.
