So I went into this place after reading a LOT of positive reviews about how amazing it is. I was disappointed.
Yes it has a LOT of play areas/swings for kids and it has a forest you can walk in but apart from that, it doesn't have much else. Also their were hardly any restaurants or food stalls opened which was annoying. Maybe it is because of the time of year i went (winter season) and maybe in the Summer it is a totally different place...
However, as of right now, I wasn't very impressed by the place and had a way better time visiting the 'Dhee Ayn' (Marble village which is about an hour away from here)

One other reviewer commented that they didn’t understand the hype around this park. I can understand what they mean in a way; it’s by no means the best park I’ve been to and I’m not sure that I would travel a long way for it.
However, it is very green and leafy, has great shaded areas for picnics and games, and has activities like cycling suspended on wires. It’s obviously popular with locals, and worth a visit, especially with kids.

I found this when looking for information on Raghadan as I catalogue photos from my time living and working In Saudi. I spent a year in Al Baha with Saudi Telecom while working on the Bell Canada International contract with the MoPTT.
Al Baha was my favourite location in the country (except for the scuba diving which we did all along the coast from Jizan, north to Tabuk - amazing!!!), but it seems to have been much different, and still almost untouched, when my wife and I were there. We went to Raghadan hiking many times. Then, there was only a sign saying what it was and we were totally alone and it was one of the few places one could find any sort of tree/brush cover. At the time, baboons were still common and it was possible to see Hyena and even saw leopards once!
Reading this makes me wonder if the other things we did are still possible. We used to take our land cruiser and drive x-country on our off days. The Biljurshie steps, the abandoned village on the escarpment at the outskirts of Al Baha as well as the one at the bottom of the camel trail were amazing places to visit. As well, there were ancient tombs and petroglyphs in the desert, on what I expect was once part of the silk road. In all amazing place and set of experiences. Some of my Al Bahah slides to show what we saw in the day......

The best place for sightseeing with Family and Friends. The Forest Park is very much safe and secured. It is one of the Highest Mountains in Al Bahah Region and the most amazing thing is the weather at Mid- Afternoon, the temperature during peak summer is 23 Celsius (Room Temperature). You must take your camera with you for the best and amazing pictures.

Visiting Al Bahah was an amazing experience .The drive from Taif to Al Bahah is very scenic and the weather in Al Bahah was very good .Even in July ,it was around 25-26 degree . Raghdan forest park is very near to city center and a very good place to spend a peaceful evening .You can take your food with you or buy from there . For kids , there are lot of places to play and have fun .For adults ,enjoy your tea and snacks and enjoy the cool breeze .

Is this park is only for families??
We are planning to visit albaha this eid
Please advise..
Written 21 June 2017
Yes, The park is for families only. There are security and police officers at the main gate, as well as patrol cars in the area. Make sure to go early though because the chalets with the most scenic views get take quickly. There are small kiosks throughout the park that sell snacks and beverages, but I would highly recommend that you bring all your picnic needs with you. Have fun!
