For the last one and a half years, an innovative project to develop Miyawaki forests based on the Japanese concept of having more and more trees in less space has been implemented to enrich the green spaces in the city. It was started from Bhakti Park on January 26, 2020.
“The total area of the park is 98,369 square meters. This land is divided into two parts. Out of which, the park has been developed on an area of 58,000 square meters. The playground has been developed on the remaining 40,000 square meters area,” said superintendent of gardens Jitendra Pardeshi.
