Nashik: The civic administration is set to introduce entry fees for the four large gardens in the city to boost revenue and offset maintenance costs.
The four gardens are Goda Park on the bank of Godavari river near Ramwadi, Somani Garden in the Nashik Road area, Pelican Park in the Cidco area and Late Balasaheb Thackeray Adventure Sports Park along Gangapur Road.
"These parks are to be managed and operated by private agencies, which will also pay a royalty or some amount collected through the sale of entry tickets," an official said.
The selected agency will be responsible for operating and managing the facilities, as well as organising and managing small events like cultural activities, fitness programmes and community gatherings. "This will contribute to both the vibrancy of the parks and the engagement of the community, ensuring the parks are active, run efficiently and enhance the overall user experience," the official said.
Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has already floated a bid for the deployment of the agency to operate and manage Goda Park. "The bids to operate and manage the other three gardens are to be floated shortly. The agencies deployed for the four gardens will also be tasked with overseeing bookings, providing customer service and handling all other operational aspects," another civic official said.
"We have started a tender process to deploy a private agency to operate and manage Goda Park.
