An Overview
This project will bring to life Riyadh’s linear park that will connect east and west with a series of unique districts and investment zones, creating a destination designed to facilitate a healthy lifestyle and provide a platform for a varied menu of sporting, artistic, entertainment and cultural activities. Once completed the Riyadh Sports Boulevard will have nine key areas. They are: Hanifah Valley Zone, Art Zone, Al Yasen Zone, Recreational Zone, Sports Zone, Sports Tower, Environmental Zone, Al Sulai Valley Zone and Sand Dunes Park Zone. The complex will connect Wadi Hanifah in the west with Wadi Al Sulai in the east via the Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road, extending 135km across Riyadh. The area will also be home to 123km of horse-riding routes, two cycling routes of 135km and 90km and endless green pedestrian pathways.
