Summary:
Now, citizens have several places to have outings in the lap of nature given that the government has embarked on a project to develop Urban Forest Parks spread over hundred of hectares around the city. As of now, the State government has developed 22 Urban Forest Parks within the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) limits. Apart from being a space for unwinding, these urban forest parks have become recreational spots for people who wish to get away from the usual hustle bustle of the city. Apart from the 22 parks, the State government has also developed 14 Urban Forest Parks outside the HMDA limits in various districts, while five more are under progress.
