Salam Park

Salam Park often referred to as Salam Family Park, is a former hobby farm that has been transformed into an urban park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most well-liked recreational areas in the nation's capital, known for its 3.3-hectare artificial lake and 1-km long walking path. Each year, it draws more than 780,000 visitors. Regardless of age, gender, or nation of origin, Riyadh residents have access to a wide range of cultural and recreational possibilities here. The park also improves the urban setting by reducing pollutants and conserving the city's water resources. Numerous attractions, expansive green spaces, groves, play areas, sports fields, walkways, jogging trails, bridges, public amenities, picnic areas, resting areas, three handicapped entrances, a mosque, and a magnificent lake with boat rides and a lovely fountain are all features of this park. It also offers three accessible entrances. The four main zones are a palm grove, a hillside zone, a lake area, and an ecological zone.
