King Abdullah Park
Terhal
Riyadh's largest permanent public park (opened in 2013), with sprawling green space, an artificial lake for boat rides, and kilometers of walking and running trails; its illuminated musical fountain show in the evening is the standout draw. A year-round daily family destination, not a seasonal or temporary attraction.
