He also revealed that a toy train will soon be introduced in the park to add entertainment and convenience for children.Speaking at the inauguration of the synthetic track project—being laid at a cost of Rs.74 lakh over a one-kilometer-long cemented path, Vij said that “This initiative will make morning walks and exercise more enjoyable and joint-friendly for visitors.” Before addressing the gathering, Vij performed a traditional coconut-breaking ceremony to mark the commencement of the EPDM flooring work and interacted with the construction team. He was welcomed with floral bouquets by Subhash Park Committee Chairman Sanjeev Walia and Executive Officer Devendra Narwal.Vij recalled the park’s transformation, saying, “Before 1996, this area was one of the dirtiest spots in Ambala Cantt—used as a dumping ground for the entire city. We fought a long struggle, reclaimed this land from encroachment, and turned it into one of the most beautiful parks in Haryana.” He further shared that the land had been misused in the past for illegal plot allocations. “We organized protests, demonstrations, and took the matter to the High Court. After a prolonged struggle, we succeeded in freeing the land from land mafias and gave it back to the people of Ambala Cantt,” he said.Following the court victory, the then Chief Minister sanctioned Rs.30 lakh for the initial development of the park, which included the construction of boundary walls and pathways. “With the cooperation of Ambala residents, benches and plants were installed, and the park began to take shape,” Vij added.Highlighting the park’s beauty and amenities, Minister Vij said that “Today, Subhash Park has a lake, open-air theatre, skating rink, gym, children’s rides, and lush green surroundings. Thousands of people visit daily to enjoy its facilities. I can proudly say that Subhash Park is the most beautiful park in Haryana, and I am confident it will receive the government’s top award for its excellence.” He explained that the new rubber-based synthetic track will reduce strain on the knees and make walking more comfortable.Vij also directed officials to begin the process of installing a toy train in the park. “Subhash Park has become a major attraction, even included in several tourist itineraries. Many schools bring their students here for recreation. The addition of a toy train will further enhance the park’s grandeur and provide children with an exciting new facility,” he said.The program was attended by Subhash Park Committee Chairman Sanjeev Walia, Municipal Council President Swarn Kaur, Vice President Lalta Prasad, and BJP leaders including Som Chopra, Kapil Vij, Vipin Khanna, Sanjeev Soni, Ravi Budhiraja, Harsh Bindra, Vikas Bahgal, Pravesh Sharma, Balkaish Vats, Deepak Bhasin, Shyam Sunder Arora, Bijender Chauhan, Prem Rana, Aarti Sehgal, Kiran Pal Chauhan, Madan Lal Sharma, Raj Kumar Raja, Narendra Rana, Sanjeev Atri, along with councillors, committee members, and other distinguished guests.normalnormalThe post Haryana’s 1st Park with Synthetic WalkingTrack toComeUp at Ambala Cantt’s Subhash Park-Vij appeared first on Chandigarh City News.
