Jaipur is going to get two new parks in the upcoming year. In Jirota, JDA will develop Nagar Van and a biodiversity park near Nevta. The work is expected to start in January. Walking and jogging tracks will also be developed in these two parks along with the basic facilities for the people.

Civil works as well as the garden branch will work on this project. The development of these two parks will benefit a population of about five lakhs and the number could exceed 15 lakh in the future.

According to a Senior Horticulturist, Narendra Singh Shekhawat, “In the coming year, we will get the gift of two big parks. Their tender process is going on. First the civil work will be done, in which the boundary wall and other facilities will be developed. The track will also be made after this horticulture work is done.”

Nagar Van on the banks of the Dravyavati River

The JDA will develop the Nagar Van on the banks of the Dravyavati River at Jaisinghpura Bas, Mahal Road in Jirota. It will be developed on 17.80 hectares of land and Rs 5.20 crore will be spent on it.

It will be developed on the vacant land situated on the banks of Dravyavati river. The trees and plants already present here will be preserved and plants will be brought from other cities and states for beautification. Around the park, the beauty of the river Dravyavati will be felt. Water bodies for animals and birds will also be developed, as well as arrangements for bird watching will be done.

Biodiversity Park near Nevta dam

JDA will develop the Biodiversity Park on the other side of the ring road near the Nevta dam. Here the green area will be promoted and a home for birds will be prepared. JDA officials believe that migratory birds come here in large numbers and a favorable environment will be created for them. 

This park will be developed in three phases. Spread over an area of 22.21 hectares, the park will develop an area of 10.80 hectares in the first phase, 4.9 hectares in the second phase and 6.4 hectares in the third phase.
