LG, CM Gupta inaugurates redeveloped Sadbhavana Park

Wednesday, 11 June 2025 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

Delhi Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inaugurated the redeveloped Sadbhavana Park parallel to the walled city on the Mahatma Gandhi Marg (Ring Road).

The park is the second in a series of three parks being redeveloped along the ramparts of the Walled City - Park and will offer much-needed recreational green space in Delhi, especially the Daryaganj-Old Delhi areas, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) said.

Key features of the park include chariot fountains, baradari, sculpture fountains, formal lawns, shaded eating plaza and other public facilities. It aims to enrich Delhi’s landscape and heritage.

Sadbhavana Park is spread over 11.0 acres of redeveloped green area. Intended to emphasise geometrical forms and designed as a formal garden to balance the gardens in the Samadhi complex, on the east side of the Ring Road, this will provide much-needed open recreational avenues in Delhi. 

Personally supervised by Saxena, the Park has white marble pathways and sculptures contrasting beautifully with the linear green areas divided into lawns and low-maintenance plantation zones, which provide a sense of grandeur. Its majestic design makes it the first-of-its-kind park in the national Capital.

A clock tower, currently under construction, will further enhance the park’s aesthetic appeal. Additionally, a food van proposed to be operationalised near the parking will attract visitors and enhance their overall experience. During the inaugural event, Saxena and Rekha Gupta jointly planted a Moulsari tree in the centre of the baradari. Other officers planted Pride of India saplings along the designed pathways.

The plantation of these trees and saplings will not only enhance the natural beauty of the area but also contribute to improved air quality and ecological balance for the benefit of the community.

The sculpture of five white horses driven by a sarathi, set in a circular water pond with fountains, adorns the park as a unique feature in Delhi’s landscape. Additionally, four magnificent sculptures of Yakshinis, crafted by Padma Vibhushan sculptor Shri Sudarshan Sahoo, are installed within the linear lawns. These artworks enhance the park’s beauty and offer welcoming, serene spaces for people to relax.

Under the consistent guidance of the Lt Governor, Sadbhavana Park was conceptualised as part of a scheme to decongest Kartavya Path lawns. It is a part of a larger landscape redevelopment project comprising three parks along Mahatma Gandhi road.

The project aims to become a vibrant urban hub where visitors can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying the amenities of a well-maintained park. Kranti Udyan, the first park in the series, was inaugurated in January this year, and Sadbhavna Park is the second, opened just five months later. The scheme integrates green belt spread over 35 acres area, running around 1.7 km length along ring road.
