On record
Built by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation as a dedicated sensory play space for children with disabilities, the park's swings and specialised equipment have rusted and deteriorated from prolonged sun, rain and dust exposure, trees have been uprooted, vegetation has overgrown, and the gate is now frequently found locked, limiting access for the very children it was meant to serve.
The official record states: "Bhubaneswar Mayor Sulochana Das: "We have engaged self-help groups and resident welfare associations to maintain parks under BMC [with supervisors monitoring periodically].""
“Built for disabled children in 2022, and already too rusted for them to use. The sun and rain were not consulted.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Built in 2022 for children with disabilities and already too rusted for them to use safely.”
“The specialised equipment was left out in the sun, the rain and the dust, and the gate is now usually locked anyway.”
“The Mayor says self-help groups and resident associations maintain the parks. Somebody should tell the swings.”
