Redevelopment, Refurbishment,
and improved maintenance
under this programme are
identified by GHMC. GHMC’s
empanelled landscape architects/
designers are providing
the conceptual and the detailed
design with estimates for
development and maintenance
of the identified Parks.
These would then be floated

The
proposed design for the development
of parks will be done by the
GHMC empanelled landscape
architects/ designers. Few
of the proposals for development
include:
• Flower beds
• Lotus ponds
• Fish ponds
• Duck ponds
• Museums exhibiting
various species

Refurbishment
of City Level Parks
GHMC intends to refurbish
the major 10 city level
parks with new attractions
that would enhance the ambience,
aesthetics and improves
the outlook of the park.
The proposed refurbishment
is aimed at improved and
sustained maintenance of
these city level parks.

Development
of Colony Level Parks, Theme
Parks and Open Spaces
There are around 250 plus
colony parks and 2200 open
spaces in GHMC limits. Most
of these parks require developments,
refurbishments with security
arrangements. Some of them
have either been encroached
or have become the centers
for anti social activities.
On the other hand, people
especially the children
and the old aged in many
colonies have to travel
long distances for leisure
and recreation. Hence, GHMC
has prioritised the rejuvenation
of the colony parks along
with the development of
new open spaces within GHMC
limits. To this effect GHMC
has already iniated design
development of the selected
colony and theme parks in
the first phase for further
development and maintenance.
