Riyadh is about to get a whole lot greener as the new Al-Urubah Park is coming up soon in Riyadh. A part of the Green Riyadh program, this park will be spread across seven 7,54,000 m². It is going to elevate the quality of life by offering recreational space for both residents and visitors. In case you’re wondering, the unique design of the park was adopted from several designs submitted by six international contestants. They participated in a competition to present the best ideas and designs that would achieve sustainability and also conform to environmental standards.

It’s worth mentioning that the park features a panoramic path that is about 3 km long and 12 m high. Offering unprecedented views of the incredible landmarks in the city and the surrounding park, this will certainly be a great addition to the upcoming venue. Since the design will also utilise modern technologies while aiming to give visitors an interactive experience through augmented reality, it’s certainly going to be a must-visit spot for residents, once ready.
