Delhi's first bamboo-themed park, Bansera Park, is now open to the public near Sarai Kale Khan on the western bank of the Yamuna River. Known for its eco-friendly design and green initiatives, Bansera Park offers a refreshing escape for residents and visitors in the bustling capital.
A Unique Green Initiative
The foundation of Bansera Park, also called Baansera, was laid on August 9, 2022. After a year of development, it was opened to the public in September 2023. Spanning over 10 hectares in the Yamuna floodplains, this park is a unique addition to Delhi's urban green spaces.
Highlights of Bansera Park
- Bamboo Plantation: The park is home to a variety of bamboo saplings sourced from different parts of India, including Assam. It has two main zones: Bamboo Recreation and Bamboo Plantation.
- Eco-Friendly Structures: All amenities in the park, such as kiosks, huts, a watchtower, and seating areas, are made from bamboo, reflecting the park's eco-friendly theme.
- Water Body: A 6-acre depression area near the park has been developed into a water body, adding natural beauty and enhancing the park's tranquil environment.
Why Bansera Park Matters
Bansera Park serves as a vital urban green space in Delhi, offering residents a place to relax and connect with nature. Beyond recreation, it plays an important role in improving the city's environment. Bamboo, known for its environmental benefits, produces 30% more oxygen compared to other plants and requires less water, contributing to better air quality in the capital.
