In the land starved hilly city, the local community got together to convert the area dumped with waste into a parklet for young children and their caregivers. Safer access to the space is enhanced by providing speed calming measures, crossings, a toilet, plantation and waiting spaces. This has provided play opportunities for around 200 children in the community and enhanced safer access along the connecting streets.

Due to the hilly terrain, the neighbourhood has very few public spaces. The community decided to open up the 180 sq.m. of space in the middle school as a play space for young children in the area, beyond school hours. The space in the premises has been converted into multi-purpose space with play opportunities such as equipment for toddlers and nature-based sensory play elements.

The small abandoned space between the bus stop and anganwadi was transformed into a play space and waiting area for young children and their caregivers. The space is shielded from traffic and provided with a refurbished kitchen garden, sandpit and age-appropriate play opportunities catering to the toddlers regularly visiting the space. This has led to around 100 sq.m. of safe play space for anganwadi children and for those waiting at the bus stop.

The bus stop next to MT Garage anganwadi was refurbished to include playful elements painted on the walls. Low height, interactive and playful seating elements were added for young children waiting at the bus stop.

Dedicated play zone was created with sand pit, sensory elements, toy bank and Thehuba - traditional gathering space. Feeding cubicles were installed to help mother feeding their infants around the park.
