Riyadh – June 5, 2025
In the heart of a city rapidly reinventing itself, King Salman Park is steadily advancing toward its goal of becoming the largest urban park in the world. With a design that harmonizes nature with modern infrastructure, the latest aerial imagery reveals the scale of progress and the thoughtful strategy behind this ambitious development.
A Living Canvas of Nature and Design
From above, the park unfolds like a living canvas. Curved roads and pathways gracefully weave through lush green spaces and shimmering water features, while carefully zoned landscapes create a rhythm of greenery and openness. Vibrant green areas are steadily expanding, blending naturally with the surrounding brown desert soil and flowing blue waterways.
A Project in Motion
Some zones appear freshly planted, while others have matured significantly suggesting a phased, deliberate construction process. Around the park’s perimeter, modern buildings are beginning to emerge, likely intended for cultural, recreational, or administrative use. A striking tower anchors the upper right corner of the aerial view, hinting at a bold architectural presence within the natural setting.
A Green Heart in a Desert City
Set against a backdrop of arid desert, the park stands as a green oasis, symbolizing resilience and ambition. It reflects a commitment to environmental sustainability and Riyadh’s broader goal to create livable, human-centered urban environments. The contrast between the barren surroundings and the growing green hub speaks volumes about the city’s vision for the future.
Work in Progress, on the Ground and in the Soil
Heavy equipment and vehicles are visible across the park’s terrain, confirming that construction is actively ongoing. Some roads are still under development, while tree planting is in full swing. The image radiates a sense of momentum as if the park is taking its first breaths, gradually transforming into a living space ready to welcome people.
More Than a Park: A Vision for a Greener Riyadh
King Salman Park isn’t just a green project it’s a statement of intent. A declaration that modern cities can embrace nature, and that sustainability and urban growth can go hand in hand. This park is set to become a vital public space, not only for relaxation, but as a model for future cities.
