Park will have a huge impact on environmental conservation," noted Dr. Al-Abdulkader. “Because it will be open to visitors and will incorporate a boardwalk between mangrove trees - it means everyone can live the experience firsthand - educating the public is also a major driver for this project." The Eco-Park will cover an area of 62 square kilometers and be partially fenced and protected. Visitors will explore mangrove vegetation by strolling on a 1.5 km elevated boardwalk that takes them through the heart of the park. By incorporating a mangrove nursery, the Eco-Park is set to serve as a practical example of how mangroves serve the Kingdom's ecosystem. “It will be an enlightening experience for visitors; they will learn about nature and the environment. We are sure that after visiting the park they will leave with an understanding that they must play their part preserving the environment." Nature lovers will be impressed by the Eco-Park's proposed design and location close to Tarut Bay. “The heritage of the local area will be reflected in the park - our goal is to make the park a natural addition to the local environment," he said.
