[16][17] In December 2022, George Tanasijevich, the former president of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore,[18] was appointed CEO of the King Salman Park Foundation, in recognition of his achievements in the management and operation of tourism projects in a number of countries around the world.

As outlined in the annual SGI forum in October 2021, the initiative seeks to plant millions of trees, restore degraded land, and achieve net carbon emissions.

[23] The initial plans for the project include the construction of a central park comprising more than 11 km of green space surrounded by an area designated to a collection of cultural, sports, residential, hotel, and commercial facilities.

Undertaken by the architect, David Adjaye, who relied on Salmani architecture principles for the unique engineering design of this project.

[6] A traffic-free path will form a 7.2-km (4.5 mile) “urban loop” within the park, catering to walking, cycling, and autonomous modes of public transportation.

[12] The park landscape will include “valley” pathways up to 30 meters (98 feet) deep, creating shaded areas with trickling streams and a variety of visitor attractions.

[12] These branching valleys are said to be inspired by Saudi Arabia's seasonally dry wadi riverbeds, converging toward the centre of the site.
