The park’s size, its location in the center of Riyadh, and its diverse assets and programming will all contribute to the park’s success. With a focus on innovation, connection, sustainability, history, and culture, the project will create a world-class iconic park landscape that is unmistakably Saudi. Likewise, the park will realize the ambitious goals set forth in Riyadh’s Vision 2030.
Building upon the strength of an existing Urban Design Master Plan, the landscape will enrich the visitor experience throughout the park. The additional wadis, spectacles, and diverse spaces created along the Innovation Loop, the landforms and cultural rooms of the Inner Park plateaus, and the expansion of the Green Fingers into the city will all greatly enhance the park plan.

The expression and celebration of Riyadh’s history and culture in all aspects of the park are what make this design extraordinary and iconic. The landscape will serve to unite all park assets and spaces into a singular identify composed of Saudi-forms, textures, colors, and spaces.
