Al-Fouta Garden (Arabic: حديقة الفوطة, possibly attributing to Ghouta), is a municipal park in the al-Fouta neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located south of the Red Palace.

Established in 1957 on the grounds of unowned palm groves,[1] it is considered to be the first public park in Riyadh.

As per widely held beliefs, the park's name is an aberration of Ghouta, a countryside suburban area of the Syrian capital Damascus.

The name was purportedly suggested by a Syrian engineer employed in the Riyadh Municipality who, owing to its verdure, attributed it to the place .

[3] The park started to receive large number of visitors after its complete rehabilitation and reopening by Prince Dr. Abdulaziz Ayyaf al-Muqrin in 2008.
