NAME OF WORK: - CONSTRUCTION OF GUJAR GARHI CANAL PARK AT MARDAN, DISTRICT MARDAN

Estimated Cost: - Rs. 106.44(Million)

PROJECT REPORT

Parks, playgrounds, greenways, trails, and community open spaces help keep

peoples and their communities fit and healthy, all people need physical activity to maintain fitness

and health. Physical activity increases strength, flexibility, and endurance; relieves symptoms of

depression and anxiety; improves mood; and enhances psychological well-being.

Irrigation Department has got a diverse system of canals throughout the province, these canal

systems are accompanied with ample land area near by these canals. Some of these lands are

surplus and can be utilized at its best by bringing it to public use, Mardan Irrigation Division,

Mardan has got a piece of land along Disty # 9 RD: 40+800 near Gujar Garhi (Lower Swat Canal

System) measuring 49 Kanals, which is best location for construction of canal park.The park will

be a source of refreshment and recreational activities for the people of Gujar Garhi, Jhanday,

Baghdada, Mazdor abad, Takht Bai, Mardan and nearby areas with total population of more than

300,000. The park will have mosque, shops, toilets, open terrace and accompanied with multiple

equipments (Giant wheel, Fire bird, Revolving tower, seesaw, swings, Quad bikes, Slides etc) for

children’s as well as elders, the smooth and long walking/jogging track will useful for elders to

ensure a healthier life along with their kids. Canal covering will further increase covered for the

park and will provide more space for recreational and amusement activities, a canal patrol road is

also proposed along the park with an ample parking facility to facilitate the locals and visitors.

Despite the importance of parks and other recreational open spaces to health, many Pakistanis do

not have adequate access to parks and open space. This is particularly true in Pakistani cities, where

parkland is often inequitably distributed, putting certain populations at risk for health problems

associated with inactivity. In District Mardan, for example, more than a million people live there

without any recreational park in nearby area. Construction of parks/green ways decrease the

number of cars on the road, they reduce air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the accidents

and stress that are by-products of not having physical activities.

Parks provide children with opportunities for play, and play is critical in the development of muscle

strength and coordination, language, and cognitive abilities. Parks also build healthy communities

by creating stable neighborhoods and strengthening community development. Research shows that

1

residents of neighborhoods with greenery in common spaces enjoy stronger social ties.

Neighborhoods with community gardens are more stable, losing fewer residents over time.

Children of all ages can spend hours swinging, climbing, balancing, digging, running and

interacting with each other in these indispensable arenas. A report prepared for the Shasta Children

and Families First Commission concluded that playgrounds are “vital for a child’s cognitive,

emotional, physical, and social development.”

Playground equipment gets children moving and having fun at the same time. Slides provide

climbing exercise for the legs; bars exercise arms and shoulders; jungle gyms strengthen arms, legs

and shoulders; and all the equipment together encourages children to run from one piece to another,

giving them a healthy dose of cardiovascular, heart-healthy exercise.

Part of the appeal of playgrounds and playground equipment is that children get to be around one

another. According to reports both group interaction and social development take place on

playground equipment in a number of ways: Children learn how to take turns and exercise self-

control waiting for a swing to open up; they can observe each other on all the equipment; and they

can strike up conversations with peers on the platforms, bridges and ramps of playground

structures.

Playground equipment helps toddlers' brains develop, the children conquer their fears of these

playground structures and gain success in mastering them. The sense of accomplish children gain

leads to self-confidence and an increase in self-esteem, as they learn about the world through motor

activities and sensory experiences, according to a report. It goes on to explain that brain

development in the first six years of life is especially important, and that the more children exercise

both their sensory and motor skills by using playground equipment, the more brain-neural

connections they create.

On successful completion of the project, the locals of the nearby area shall be provided the

opportunity of refreshment and recreation virtually, from which they were deprived due to financial

constraint in the province in the past periods. The construction park will secure government land

from encroachment and will generate its own capital and will not be burden on Government

treasury.

The Project was duly approved by The Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) on

Wednesday the 7th January 2015 under the chairman ship of Additional Chief Secretary for an

amount of 106.44 Million, the chair further directed the Irrigation department to involve experts

and carry out feasibility study for “Construction of Gujar Garhi Canal Park at Mardan, District

Mardan”. The PC-II is therefore, submitted for approval of DCSC and hiring of consultants at

earliest please.
