Changunarayan municipality to build first physical fitness park

Changunarayan municipality is set to first-ever gym and physical fitness park at Tathali.

The sports ground along with physical fitness park will be constructed at ward no. 9 of the municipality. This would make it easier for the locals to do regular physical and fitness exercise. The municipality has come up with the idea as open space and sports ground are being shrunk with growing urbanization.

The park will be constructed in the land stretching over four ropanis of land of Saudole of Tathali at the cost around Rs 400,000. Changunarayan-9 has appropriated budget for the park construction. Budget was allotted for the purpose in the fiscal year 2076/77 BS. Users’ committee was already formed to take ahead the construction works last year but the lockdown against coronavirus affected the process.

The plan is taking momentum now. The park will have fitness equipment and will organise general sports events. The focus is youth and senior citizens and is expected to keep physical wellbeing of the residents of the municipality, said ward chair Ganesh Tyat.

Users’ committee chair Bikas Basukala said the public land is being leveled up for the construction of the park. “We have imported equipment from China with the relaxation of lockdown. The park will be constructed soon”, he added.
