King Abdullah Park, Public garden in central Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
King Abdullah Park is a public garden in central Riyadh with landscaped areas, water features, walking paths, and recreational spaces for visitors. The space contains distinct zones designed to serve different activities and age groups.
The park opened in October 2013, transforming a former equestrian ground into a major green space. This conversion represented a significant step in the city's development of public recreational areas.
The park serves as a gathering place where families spend time together, celebrate special occasions, and participate in seasonal festivities throughout the year. Visitors experience how this green space anchors community life in the city.
The park is open from early afternoon until midnight and offers parking, prayer facilities, restaurants, and children's play areas. Visitors should prepare for hot weather, particularly during the summer season.
The central fountain reaches impressive heights and synchronizes with light and sound effects, becoming particularly striking in the evening. This water and light display draws photographers and evening visitors who come to experience the show.
