The park is part of the national “Bahjah Project,” which aims to create an ideal urban environment for residents by creating gardens that promote a healthy lifestyle, in accordance with the best design standards that suit the aspirations of citizens and residents.
The Municipality seeks to strengthen its development initiatives to humanize the city and improve the quality of life, which is one of the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 AD.

The development project aims to take advantage of the location and centrality of Al-Saja Park and its surrounding gardens, represented by Al-Nozha Park (east) and Kindergarten Park (west), and to connect them to create and form one central park called Al-Saja Gardens.
