MCD plans an airplane theme park for kids
Hindustan TimesThe Municipal Corporation of Delhi has invited bids to develop an “Airplane Theme Park” in north Delhi’s Pitampura as part of its project to develop a new series of interactive children’s parks across the city, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday. HT had earlier reported that MCD has begun the process of developing an insect-themed children’s park near the Outer Ring Road in Rohini-Mangolpuri and an octopus theme park in Rohini’s Sector 21. The erstwhile South MCD had developed its first children’s park — Nandan Van — in Greater Kailash 1 N Block in 2018 with anime and animal themes at a cost of ₹1 crore. Theme parks are good but there should be safe play spaces available in their neighbourhood parks as well.” While the tender process for three sites has begun, similar parks are expected to come up above the Hauz Khas multilevel parking in the south zone, a portion of the historic Qudsia Bagh under City Sadar Paharganj zone and the park near the Ganga Ram Hospital in Rajendra Nagar for the Karol Bagh zone.
