Riyadh unveils project to develop new parks

RIYADH: Riyadh Region Municipality has announced a new project to develop two major parks spanning 317,200 sq. meters in the eastern and southern parts of the capital.
The parks represent high-quality developments aimed at expanding public spaces across the capital and creating attractive urban destinations, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
They will feature a wide range of facilities and amenities: restaurants and cafes, a golf course, multi-purpose sports fields, water and children’s play areas, jogging tracks, a theater, designated event spaces, and a scenic valley that will serve as a central visual and functional element within the parks.
Designed with environmental sensitivity in mind, “the parks will introduce innovative green spaces, reinforcing the role of public spaces as a vital component of the city’s urban fabric.”
The development of major parks forms part of the municipality’s efforts to promote sustainable urban development and improve livability, in alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
