Salam Park (Arabic: منتزة سلام, romanizedmuntazah Salām, lit.'peace park') is a 61-acre historic urban park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located southwest of Qasr al-Hukm District.[1] Opened in 2004, it was built on the site of an eponymous date palm orchard that belonged to Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman. The park is popular for its 3.3 hectares large artificial lake and 1-kilometer long pedestrian track.[2][3] It was jointly designed by Omrania and Associates and Aukett Fitzroy Robinson. The Salam Mosque, one of the oldest and earliest reinforced concrete mosques of Riyadh, is situated at the center of the park.
