King Salman Park

King Salman Park is a large urban park being developed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on the site of the former Riyadh Air Base. It is part of the Green Riyadh initiative and is expected to be one of the largest urban parks in the world, with a planned area four times that of New York's Central Park. The park will include green spaces, cultural venues, sports facilities, and a traffic-free path for walking and cycling.
