The Tiruchi City Corporation has commenced civil work to set up an inclusive park with recreation facilities for all sections of people, including persons with disabilities and elders, on Race Course Road in Khajamalai.
A first-of-its-kind park in the city will come up on walking tracks around the Anna Stadium at a cost of ₹7.5 crore. The existing tracks will be redeveloped and the space between the tracks and public property will be utilised to develop activity-based recreational spaces.
It will focus on people with different types of disabilities and have disabled-friendly play equipment with barrier-free access. The park will have a separate space to display tactile replicas of artistic sculptures to attract visually impaired people. The plan includes provisions for yoga and meditation for senior citizens, a disabled-friendly open-air gym, and a play area for children.
