Telangana Urban Development Minister K T Rama Rao (KTR) inaugurated the new Gandipet Eco-Park on Tuesday.
In an effort to create eco-friendly tourism attractions, the state government approved the spending of Rs 35.6 crore to create a landscape park on the banks of Osman Sagar and Rs 75 crore to create an environmental park at Himayat Sagar, two ancient Nizam-era reservoirs on the outskirts of the city.
The Gandipet park, designed by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), includes walkways, an open-air theatre with 1,200 seats, two art pavilions, a flower terrace, gazebos, picnic areas, food courts, and restrooms, in addition to an entrance pavilion with welcoming arches and a central pavilion with a ticketing counter and guard room. The authorities have also added eye-catching lighting to the nighttime vista.
KTR took to Twitter to thank the HMDA for their efforts in developing the park.
Happy to inaugurate Gandipet Eco Park today. Will be a valuable addition to the city’s green landscape

HMDA proposed developing the Eco-park at a cost of Rs 75 crore, of which the authority has spent Rs 35.60 crore.
According to an HMDA press release, urban development chief secretary Arvind Kumar a while ago visited the proposed site in Kothwalguda to clear the necessary groundwork for the park’s construction.
The Kothwalguda Eco-Park will include, in addition to gazebos and pergolas, a six-acre aviary, a 2.5-kilometer boardwalk, an aquarium, a butterfly garden, a sensory park, an open-air theatre, flora, and landscaping, according to the HMDA.
Aside from four food courts, the HMDA has also proposed opulent timber cabins, camping tents, an infinity pool, and a conference hall.
According to authorities, the park will have a bridge connecting land pockets on either side of the outer ring road park will contain 85 acres on one side and 40 acres on the other. A guest parking area and an approach road were also built.
