Lucknow: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is set to commence work on Ramayan Park, Sanskriti Darshan Park and Greenwood Park from April in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision to transforming Uttar Pradesh into Uttam Pradesh, official sources said here on Thursday.

Sources said that the master plan for the Ramayan Park has already been finalised. "The park will feature a 5D motion chair theatre and a mirror house, while installations such as holographic projections, a light and sound show and artistic representations of Ramayan-era characters will be developed at a cost of over Rs 26.26 crore," they said.

Similarly, Sanskriti Darshan Park and Greenwood Park will see construction and development projects worth Rs 16.57 crore, with work set to begin in April.

Sources said that the GDA aims to provide visitors with an engaging and educational experience through the Ramayan Park. "This Ramayan-themed park will integrate modern technology with India’s rich cultural heritage, offering an immersive journey into the epic. Designed as a historical landmark, the park will attract both residents and tourists, strengthening the city's identity and fostering a sense of community pride," they said.

Sources said that as per the master plan, the park will feature 45 artistic installations, including 15 sculptures of Ramayan-era characters. "It will also include multimedia entertainment elements such as a mirror maze, holographic projections, a 5D motion chair theater and a kids' activity zone," they said.

Sources said that the designated land for the park is located at Koyal Enclave, Loni Bhopura Road, covering an area of 22,700 square meters (5.61 acres). "Revenue generation for GDA will come from entry tickets, parking fees, advertisements, the mirror maze and the 5D auditorium. The entire project is set to be completed within a year," they said.

According to the master plan, Sanskriti Darshan Park will be developed on a 10.3-acre site located at Hathi Park/Rani Avanti Bai Park. The park will feature a kids' activity area along with various public amenities. A special highlight of this park will be art installations made from recycled materials, promoting environmental conservation values.

Similarly, Greenwood Park will be developed at Nimbu Park, covering 3.95 acres. This park will include food kiosks, allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of cuisines. Both parks will feature 22 unique art installations.

The development work for both parks is expected to be completed within six months. Besides, Ramayan Park, Sanskriti Darshan Park and Greenwood Park will be equipped with CCTV surveillance, toilet blocks and walking lanes, ensuring a well-maintained and visitor-friendly environment.
