The King Salman Park Royal Arts Complex is designed by recently departed Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, renowned for many iconic landmarks around Europe, Asia, and the US.
King Salman Park will deliver a holistic experience that provides a variety of environmental, cultural, sports, artistic, and entertainment options to improve the quality of life in the city, supporting the realisation of Vision 2030, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, to create a vibrant and healthy society and boost the global ranking of Riyadh amongst the “world’s top liveable cities”.
King Salman Park covers more than 16km² and is characterized by its strategic location in the city of Riyadh, linked to several main roads, as well as the Public Transport Project that includes Riyadh’s train and bus network, making it easily accessible for residents and visitors alike.
About King Salman Park
King Salman Park was launched in 2019 under the patronage of King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Once completed, the over 16km² park in the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, will be the largest urban park in the world.
Strategically located and easily accessible, King Salman Park is set to become a global hub for culture, arts, and nature. The public park will include vast green spaces, extensive sports facilities, and immersive cultural and entertainment venues including the Royal Arts Complex, which will house the National Theatre, and other key cultural and tourist attractions.
The development of King Salman Park supports the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 and the aims of its ‘quality of life’ pillar. The Park will become a landmark for recreation and wellbeing, a champion for sustainable, healthy environments, and a driving force against the effects of climate change.
