Saudi Arabia has opened the first phase of Sports Boulevard, a 135 km linear park – the world’s longest – that supports Riyadh’s transformation into a global athletics and lifestyle destination.
The project is now 40% complete, with 83 km of the route now accessible to visitors. The boulevard will have more than 50 sports facilities when fully complete.
The Saudi government aims to transform Riyadh into one of the world’s most liveable cities by blending sports with cultural, artistic, and environmental facilities.
The Sports Boulevard includes pathways for pedestrians, cyclists and runners, as well as horse trails and green spaces.
