Salam Park (Arabic: منتزه سلام, romanized: Muntazah Salām), also known as Salam Family Park[1] (Arabic: منتزه سلام العائلي), is a hobby farm-turned urban park, coextensive with the al-Salam neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Popular for its 3.3 hectares large artificial lake[2] and 1-km long pedestrian track,[3] it was jointly designed by Omrania and Associates and Michael Aukett's multi-disciplinary company Aukett Associates.
Prior to its inauguration in 2004,[4] it was once a private property of Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman al-Saud,[1][5][6] the elder half-brother of King Abdulaziz and is today considered among the most popular places for recreation in the country's capital.[7]
