Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is gearing up to create the city’s first adventure park at Lata Mangeshkar Garden in Surya Nagar in east Nagpur. With an estimated cost of around Rs7.5 crore, the project promises to transform one of Nagpur’s biggest green spaces into a hub of thrill, fitness, and family fun.The adventure park is part of NMC’s broader plan to revive city gardens and make them more people-friendly, combining aesthetics and recreational opportunities. Once completed, visitors will be able to experience a range of activities — from zip lining and rock climbing to rope cycling and bungee ejection. The project places a major emphasis on safety, with top-notch equipment and professionally managed operations.Speaking to TOI, a senior NMC official confirmed, “The project is almost finalised, and we are awaiting the final nod which is expected next week after which the tender process for the park would begin.”Originally developed by the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT), the Lata Mangeshkar Garden, along with an adjacent open-air theatre, is spread over four acre. The garden was eventually handed over to the NMC. However, over time, the open theatre and other structures fell into disrepair and were demolished, leaving a vast, underutilised open space next to the garden.“The civil work at the garden would cost around Rs4.50 crore while setting up the adventure sports would cost around Rs3 crore. However, the final amount is yet to be decided,” the official said.Visitors can look forward to a wide array of features including a zipline single rope one way, adventure play station, low rope course, climbing wall, rappelling wall, bicycle rope way (sky cycle double), sky roller double, bungee ejection, big swing, net climbing, rope climbing, and a slippery wall. Eco-friendly installations like a suspension bridge, two canopy walks, a Burma bridge, and a trampoline park with soft play area will enrich the fun experience for all ages.Box: Adventure activities to be offered– Bungee jumping– Zipline Single Rope One Way– Sky Roller Double– Low Rope Course– Climbing Wall– Rappelling Wall– Bicycle Rope Way– Suspension Bridge (eco-friendly)– Two Canopy Walks (eco-friendly)– Trampoline Park & Soft Play Area– Big Swing– Net Climbing– Rope Climbing
