Basem Al-Shihabi, the founder of Omrania, the selected design consultant, said the park will bring back “human life" and "will change the very nature of Riyadh. It will actually fulfill the meaning of Al-Riyadh: The green land.”[1] According to Middle East Architect magazine, "The park's landscape consists of a series of branching valleys, inspired by Saudi's seasonally dry wadi river beds, converging towards the centre of the site. Around the edges of each branch, protected from direct sunlight, visitors will be encouraged to use gathering spaces and activity areas."[11]
