King Abdullah Park

A large landscaped public park in central Riyadh built on the site of a former royal residence, featuring lawns, walkways, fountains and a musical dancing-water display. Opened to the public as a green retreat, it draws families in the evenings and on weekends. The illuminated fountain shows set to music are a particular draw, and shaded seating areas make it comfortable in the milder months. As one of the capital's principal urban parks, it provides a rare expanse of open green space within the dense central districts.
