New Delhi, March 23 The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) laid the foundation stone on Monday for the redevelopment of a park with modern amenities in Bharti Nagar, southeast Delhi, officials said.
According to NDMC Vice Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal, the project, located along the colony's boundary wall, aims to provide residents with improved recreational facilities.

According to the plan, the park will include an open-air gym, a covered gym with three-sided glass walls, a children's play area, a relaxation zone with seating benches, a pergola, and a sports zone.
A dedicated synthetic jogging track will run around the park. The total area of the park is approximately 1,750 square metres, of which about 925 square metres will be developed as a running and walking track.
Around 290 square metres will have PU sports flooring, and a combined badminton and basketball court will also be set up, officials said.

The estimated cost of the project is about Rs 93 lakh, which is expected to be completed by June this year, he said.
