It integrates modern technology with natural elements, providing an interactive experience with augmented reality features. 

The project’s initial design includes permanent water bodies and the Al Laysan Valley pass. 

Facilities at the park will include a 14km walking trail, open spaces, green terraces, and venues for events and sports, catering to diverse age groups. 

In addition, more than 600,000 trees and shrubs will be planted within the park, covering 65% of its total area. 

The broader Green Riyadh programme aims to plant trees across residential neighbourhoods, develop parks, streets, and pedestrian pathways, and enhance public buildings and irrigation networks spanning 1,350km.  

This initiative is a cornerstone of the Saudi Green Initiative and Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to plant ten billion trees across the kingdom.  

Riyadh’s contribution to this target includes planting 7.5 million trees, aiming to increase the city’s green cover to 9% and per capita green space from 1.7m² to 28m².  

The Green Riyadh programme is also expected to reduce urban temperatures, improve air quality, and elevate Riyadh’s status as one of the world’s most livable cities.
