Gurugram Parks Get Makeover for Accessibility

Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) officials announced that all parks in the city will undergo a significant infrastructure overhaul to ensure accessibility for differently-abled residents. A private agency has developed designs for user-friendly park features, with tenders expected to be floated by December for the renovation process. These upgrades will include wheelchair-friendly walking tracks, ramps, and tactile pathways, alongside accessible restrooms and seating areas.

Dedicated parking spots for differently-abled individuals and clear signage will be established to ensure compliance. The parks will also feature accessible gym equipment, non-slip surfaces, and wider entry points to enhance user experience for all. The project's estimated costs have been determined for specific zones within MCG, with similar upgrade processes underway in other areas.

Furthermore, the initiative includes the development of dedicated yoga parks in designated sectors, featuring yoga sheds and open-air gym machines. Tenders for these yoga parks have already been floated, aiming to promote fitness and health within the community. These parks will offer free training and mentorship from expert professionals, encouraging residents to engage in healthy activities.
