To ensure safety, a senior SDMC official said the play area for children would have a rubber base and a net.

The adventure park for children in Dwarka Sector 19 is spread over an area of 2.5 acres. Dwarka councillor Nitika Sharma said the civic body has planned facilities like rope and rock climbing, tree decks, and mechanical rides. The parks will serve as mini-amusement parks for toddlers and kids, she said. The SDMC plans to start this park in November.

With municipal elections nearing, officials have been asked to expedite pending projects.
