Wadi Namar Park
منتزه وادي نمار
A valley park on Riyadh's southwestern outskirts, with a dam lake, an artificial waterfall, and paths. It is a local favorite for evening relaxation.
منتزه وادي نمار is a tributary of Wadi Hanifa. The park is built beside a dam, with several kilometers of lakeside paths, viewing platforms, picnic areas, and an artificial waterfall that cascades down a rock face. At night, lights illuminate the waterfall and the lake, and local families often come to walk and barbecue. Entry is free, and it gets crowded after dusk. It lies in southwest Riyadh, about 20 km from the city center, roughly a 25-minute taxi ride, and can be combined with the southern section of Wadi Hanifa.
