King Fahd Central Park, Public park in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
King Fahd Central Park spans approximately 1.6 million square meters with half a million square meters of green spaces, featuring walking trails, children's playgrounds, sports facilities, and traditional heritage sections that showcase local architecture and urban planning.
The park was established as part of Medina's urban development initiatives to create recreational spaces for residents and visitors, transforming vacant land into a comprehensive recreational facility that serves the growing population of the holy city.
The park features a heritage district that replicates traditional Medina neighborhoods with authentic architectural styles, a popular market selling local crafts and traditional products, and regularly hosts cultural events, theatrical performances, and community festivals throughout the year.
Open daily with eight main parking areas and twenty additional side parking spaces, the park offers barbecue areas, sports courts, wheelchair-accessible facilities, restrooms, and is located approximately five kilometers south of the Prophet's Mosque for easy access.
The park serves as a natural reserve for Medina's urban forest, containing dense natural woodlands that support local biodiversity while providing a rare green lung in the desert environment of western Saudi Arabia.
