Warangal, one of the top ten cities under the Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge created young children friendly parks and gardens through convergence with greening fund.
Going further, as part of Nurturing Neighbourhoods 2.0, Warangal aims to develop vibrant, safe and playful spaces for young children & their caregivers around vulnerable settlements with greening and climate resilient approach.
Reclaiming unused pockets in vulnerable settlements to create stimulating play spaces at walkable distances has increased the outdoor time spent by young children and their caregivers.
The neighbourhood park in Srinagar Colony provides variety of experiences such as natural and sensory play elements, with textured enclosures, grass mound tunnel, play equipment and seating, and plantation of native species implemented through city’s greening initiative, supported by State Greening fund. A park in the Subhash Nagar neighbourhood was transformed by converting heaps of debris into grass mounds, for children to climb, along with play opportunities such as sand pit, xylophone and play equipment.
