The Sports Boulevard is one of Riyadh’s four ambitious projects, launched by the Custodian of Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz on 19 March 2019. The project is a key component of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision and stated goal of becoming one of the top 100 cities in the world, eventually achieving the highest ranking possible. The Sports Boulevard extends for 135 kms, across the city of Riyadh, connecting Hanifah valley in the West with Al Salai Valley in the East. The Sports Boulevard has safe, green pathways for pedestrians along the whole project. There are special routes for professional and amateur cyclists, horse riding paths, and designated sites for sporting activities, which include a Sport Tower – a high rise building that has courts for different indoor sports. The Sports Boulevard will encourage the citizens of Riyadh to follow a healthy lifestyle through exercise and participation in various sporting activities.
