The Rs 69.7-crore Grand Central Park in Yogi Dham, which will be the state’s biggest urban park, has over 1,200 diverse species of trees and is packed with multiple amenities designed to give visitors an immersive experience.
Constructed by Smart Kalyan Dombivli Development Corporation Ltd (SKDCL) under Smart City Mission on the bank of Waldhuni river, it offers attractions like an artificial lake alongside a promenade, a jogging track, a cycling track, an amphitheatre and a children’s play zone. It also has a cafeteria and parking facilities for visitors.

Pralhad Rode, chief executive officer of SKDCL, said, “The park aims to provide residents with a unique and aesthetically pleasing experience”. He said once inaugurated, the park will be handed over to Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation, which will let a private party handle operations and maintenance.
