King Salman Park, Urban Park
King Salman Park is an expansive green space on the site of the former air base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The area features shaded pathways, shallow valleys with streams, playgrounds, sports zones, and cultural facilities spread across different sections.
The site was announced in 2019 and uses the land of the former Riyadh Air Base. Planning is part of the Green Riyadh initiative, which aims to bring more trees and green spaces to the capital.
The name honors King Salman and reflects the effort to give the city a modern meeting point. The valley designs echo the wadis of the Najd region, creating a landscape that feels familiar to Riyadh residents.
Five metro stations and ten bus stops are nearby, making it easy to reach by public transport. The shaded pathways are suitable for walking and cycling in warm weather.
The valley features within the park reach depths of up to 30 meters and mimic dry riverbeds. This design provides cool, shaded areas and gives the ground a natural relief.
