Saudi Arabia
The Sports Boulevard project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia aims to promote healthy living through sports and exercise.
Stretching 135 kilometres through the city, it will connect Hanifah Valley in the west to Al Salai Valley in the east.
The boulevard provides over 4 million square metres of open green space, including a 20-square-kilometre desert park with event venues, outdoor museums, and movie theatres. It is divided into seven zones catering to different activities like cycling, arts and culture, environmental sustainability, and more.
The project aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative to transform the economy and put Riyadh among the top 100 cities globally.
It seeks to encourage physical activity and a healthier lifestyle for Riyadh residents by providing spaces to walk, cycle, and ride horses.
The Sports Boulevard will also attract investors and drive the city’s growth by enriching its cultural offerings and recreational activities. With over 60 sports facilities, it aims to make sports more accessible for the people of Riyadh.
