An elevated track at a height of 6 metres from one end to the other will be the main attraction of the Lions Park on Kozhikode beach once its renovation is completed.
The Kozhikode Corporation Council has approved a plan to renovate the park and the allied children’s park at an estimated cost of ₹7.5 crore. “The work will commence soon and will be completed without delay,” Mayor Beena Philip said.
The park, which used to be a major hangout for beach-goers, has been in a dilapidated state. The Lions Club, which used to run the park, had handed it over to the Corporation for renovation two years ago. Since then, the condition of the park has worsened. Despite a board banning parking of vehicles on the premises, the space is now an unauthorised parking ground. The compound walls are damaged or non-existent in many parts.
