Chapter ñ10 Final Report: <strong>Gudiyattam</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong>ity<br />

10.1.9 Parks and Play Ground<br />

1. Needs:<br />

Restoration of parks with children play facilities, greenery, lawns, tree<br />

plantation etc.<br />

Development of new parks/ play fields<br />

Development of road side gardens through sponsorship<br />

Walkways all-round the parks<br />

Apart from acting as the lung spaces and recreation area to the local population,<br />

these parks could act as a temporary resting and refreshment area for the people.<br />

A look at the parks reveals that they are very poorly maintained and are used for<br />

other than the designated uses. All the parks require proper fencing for<br />

maintenance and right use of the land parcels; Landscaping of the parks is a must<br />

by planting of choice species. Provision of pathways along the periphery of the<br />

parks with shrubs and plantations on both the sides is one of the present<br />

requirements as walkways for all age groups of residents.<br />

Maintenance of greenery comprising shady, ornamental and avenue trees will<br />

greatly improve the quality and usage of parks. Fountains and water supply<br />

provisions should be provided in the parks at appropriate places. The maintenance<br />

of the parks may be entrusted to interested voluntary agencies on private<br />

participation/donation. Also some of the commercial houses may be involved in<br />

maintaining the parks providing appropriate advertising space.<br />
