Hyderabad: Environmental themes swept this park in the city’s Kukatpally and transformed it from a neglected center into a unique and aesthetic lunging space.
The Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is developing the Asbestos Colony Park near Papi Reddy Nagar into an environmental theme park of over 3,000 square meters at an estimated cost of Rs 1.9 lakh.
Earlier, the park had been neglected and turned into a place for sociopaths to drink and pass the time. However, the civic body initiative is now being transformed into a pleasant retreat with several unique features and is expected to open to local residents by February 2023.
Part of the park depicts a classroom dotted with carved benches and classroom boards facing them. Benches and planks are painted in different shades of brown to reveal an open-plan classroom set up in a village. The benches are in the shape of fruit, including apples, custard apples, and more. The waterfall designed as a mountain is another attraction of the park, which also has walkways, children’s play areas, restrooms and more.
At the same time, GHMC also developed a vending area in the park and built temporary structures. “The plan is to provide tea and other snacks to the visitors in the park. The facility will be very useful for people residing in Hanuman Nagar, Asbestos Colony, Papi Reddy Nagar, Pragathi Nagar and Deenabandhu Colony,” said a GHMC official.
The official added that in addition to developing a place for joggers and walkers, the municipal body hopes to contribute to the recreational, educational and aesthetic needs of Cukatpali through this environmental theme park.
Screening Room:
GHMC will also install here the equipment needed to dispose of waste, plastic shredders and sanitary napkin incinerator processors. There are about eight schools near the environmental theme park, where students will learn how the machines function. A projection room will be built in this park to educate students.
