The Jeddah Municipality enhances the quality of life in the city by developing parks and public facilities through the creation of walking tracks that adhere to the highest engineering standards, providing safe urban environments that encourage sports practice, and offering residents and visitors integrated spaces for entertainment and recreation, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to build more vibrant and sustainable cities.

The official spokesman for Jeddah Municipality, Mohammed bin Obaid Al-Buqami, confirmed that the designs of walking tracks are based on engineering standards that consider the needs of various community groups, focusing on providing a safe and comfortable environment that encourages adopting a healthy lifestyle, through paths that offer an integrated user experience within parks and public facilities.

He explained that these standards rely on achieving a balance between entertainment elements and the basic uses of the sites, linking them with surrounding urban uses, in addition to selecting plants suitable for the local environment and distributing them in line with pedestrian paths, which contributes to providing shade, enhancing visitor comfort, and raising the quality of the experience within the facilities.

He stated that the design of the tracks ensures appropriate widths for pathways to guarantee smooth pedestrian movement, taking into account the needs of wheelchair users and applying universal accessibility requirements to enable people with disabilities and the elderly to use the facilities with ease and convenience. He pointed to the provision of adequate lighting, seating benches, waste bins, and shading elements in suitable locations along the tracks, as well as safe bicycle paths, emphasizing that Jeddah Municipality carries out periodic maintenance to address any subsidence, cracks, or observations that may affect user safety.

These efforts embody the Jeddah Municipality's approach to developing more efficient and sustainable public facilities that contribute to enhancing public health, encourage physical activity, and elevate the quality of the urban landscape, making parks and walking tracks vibrant daily destinations that meet the needs of residents and visitors alike.
