Less screen time, more play time: NMC plans adventure zones at 5 gardens
Nagpur: In a fresh attempt to draw children away from screens and back to public spaces, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has floated e-tenders for setting up adventure play zones in six city gardens, many of which were developed decades ago. The civic body aims to revive interest in these ageing green spaces by adding exciting outdoor climbing equipment, particularly targeted at younger citizens. The move is part of a broader strategy initiated by municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari to promote outdoor physical activity and meaningful recreation in Nagpur's public parks. A senior official from the NMC's Garden Department told TOI that the outdoor adventure climbing setups will be developed at Mahatma Phule garden, Suyog Nagar garden, Nakshatra Van garden, KT Nagar garden and Dhantoli garden at an estimated cost of Rs88.10 lakh. "These gardens created at least 20 to 30 years ago lack appeal for today's generation. New adventure climbing structures will be developed alongside the existing basic play equipment like slides and swings to offer more physically engaging and fun activities," the official said. Elaborating on the commissioner's vision, the official said that he has envisioned a transformation of parks into active zones where kids can explore, climb and play in a safe, stimulating environment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dolly Parton, 79, Removes Her Makeup and Stuns Everyone The Noodle Box Undo In parallel, NMC has plans to develop Nagpur's first full-fledged adventure park at Lata Mangeshkar Garden in Surya Nagar at estimated cost of Rs8.79 crore. Of this, Rs4.16 crore was earmarked for civil and beautification works including the development of walkways, lawns, fencing, decorative plantation, utility rooms, smart toilets, and ticket counters while Rs4.20 crore is set aside for installing high-end adventure equipment. According to the official, four firms participated in the bidding process for the project. "Out of these, two bidders were found technically eligible. The financial bids of these qualified firms will be opened in the coming days," he said. The garden, which earlier housed an auditorium, has been cleared and about two acres are reserved for dedicated children's adventure activities. It will feature a wide array of installations such as zip lines, climbing and rappelling walls, rope courses, sky cycling, big swings, trampoline parks, and canopy walkways.
