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.

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
