We thought there should be something unique and eye-catching for locals to visit and relax, and for children to have some amusement. We have come up with a Jungle Book-based theme park. The park is especially for children where they can experience the scenario of a dense jungle and meet the characters of Jungle Book film that include Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera and many more. We have also planned that the entrance gate would be like a cave shape that would give a complete look of a jungle."

An area of 800 square meters is earmarked for the theme. The benches would be look like carved out trunks. Apart from this, the park would have several facilities such as round pathway, sitting benches, drinking water facility, LED lighting, play equipment, walking track. Of course, dustbins would be there too. A selfie spot is also being arranged to freeze the moments for ever, says Sai Prasad, an assistant engineer.

The entire park area would have a lavish, lush greenery. The authorities have decided on avenue plantation on the boundaries to add an aesthetic appeal to the entire area and also provide shade. Already, levelling works have begun and very soon actual works would start. The estimated cost of project is around Rs 21 lakh.
