King Salman Neighborhood is a district in northern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located east of King Abdullah District and west of al-Wurud neighborhood in the sub-municipality of al-Ulaya. Covering an area of 1673 acres, the district was formed in May 2023 after the amalgamation of al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods and being renamed after King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia since 2015.[1] The neighborhood is located adjacent to the site of King Salman Park project.[2]
In 2019, the Saudi government announced the King Salman Park project, a planned 4102-acre large-scale public park that was slated to be the largest urban park in the world. King Abdulaziz District was selected for the site of the project.[3] [4] King Abdulaziz District was situated south of al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods.
In May 2023, al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods were renamed as King Salman Neighborhood by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to honor the legacy of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his efforts to modernize Riyadh during his period in office as the governor of Riyadh Province between 1955 and 1960 and then from 1963 to 2011.[5] [6] [7]
