King Abdullah Park
حديقة الملك عبدالله
A large city park in Malaz where the evening musical fountain show on the lake is a favorite with local families.
The park occupies the former racecourse in Malaz district. Its central artificial lake has a large musical fountain that performs at night with light and music, making it one of Riyadh's most popular family leisure spots. The park also has walking paths, a children's play area, and food stalls. Admission is very cheap, at a few riyals. It is open from evening until late at night and gets crowded on weekends. It lies east of the city center, next to حديقة حيوان الرياض, so the two can be visited together.
