The Tabuk Central Park Landscape project is an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming public spaces in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. This development reimagines traditional green areas, turning them into vibrant social hubs that promote community interaction, recreation, and overall well-being.

Our design utilises the region’s natural topography to enhance ecological awareness and create a seamless connection between buildings and the environment by filling in previously empty spaces.

More than just a collection of greenery, this redesigned landscape serves as an active centre for social activities. It attracts residents with a variety of programs, promotes connectivity among people, and acts as both a green refuge and a focal point for community engagement.

A Destination for The Community

Tabuk Central Park - destination for the community

Strategically located in the heart of Tabuk City, the park’s design carefully balances natural and urban elements, offering a multi-functional public space that adapts to its users’ needs.

The project introduces a cohesive network of green spaces, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and interactive social zones, ensuring a vibrant and inclusive environment.

Key features include:

  • Stepped topography and terraced landscapes allow the park to harmonise with the land’s natural slope without disrupting the Wadi’s seasonal flooding.
  • Diverse recreational zones, including a sports area and dedicated leisure spaces, cater to a variety of activities.
  • Lightweight structures create adaptable spaces for different functions while maintaining an open, flexible urban framework.
  • Shaded areas are strategically designed to provide comfort during warmer seasons, contrasting with open zones to offer a dynamic spatial experience.
  • Seating and relaxation areas, fostering engagement and social interaction among residents and visitors.

This ecologically responsive and socially inclusive design reinforces the park’s role as a remarkable destination in Tabuk Province, strengthening community ties and promoting outdoor engagement.
