The park's design is based on the local culture, which dates back to the foundation era of Saudi Arabia. The experts and artisans who made the designs made sure that they utilize everything in a very natural way so that it is not a misfit in the environment. Making it as natural as it could be was the aim. Having counted among the successful parks, the factors that contribute to the success are its location, which is strategic enough, and a very well planned structure from its maintenance to its architecture.

The park has been designed by Omrania and associates and the British multidisciplinary company Aukett associates. Various amenities and facilities present in the park include sports fields, jogging tracks, bridges, public facilities, resting areas, three accessible entrances, a mosque, a magnificent lake, and the play areas. Visitors call it a place that is perfect in every sense, and the count of visitors has been increasing with the passing time.
