In Sector 36, we are blessed to have 3 parks. Park near mother diary is a big park with open gym and in the morning one can see many activities here like yoga class, morning walkers, children
playing and senior citizens busy in discussion. B block park has its own unique beauty the pleasure of forest walk, children on swings, birds chirping, regular walkers keeps this place full of life.
Did you know there is a park in C block right in the middle of the sector, behind Ram Mandir, on the raod that leads to Community Center and Mother Diary no one pays attention to delelop this place it’s known for pet owners who comes here with their pets. My residence is just on the same road and to my surprise one of the friend of mine mentioned OK you live near ‘potty park’ and the was the moment, I decided to do something to change the mindset.
I had two options, just go straight and tell people to stop taking their pets there, second why not beautify this place to that extent that residents feel happy to come there for walk and make this place happening I observed that the park wall was in bad shape. I contacted the horticulture department as was advised by the Samiti office, (The horticulture department has the responsibility for park maintenance). I am very thankful to AM Singh, Prashant Singh who accepted my application and very soon a letter was received by me that gave me permission to repair and paint the wall park C block dRrZO; Health & Hygiene club-36 and the sector residents were my support. People liked the idea but who would take the initiative was the question. Aparna and Poonam joined hand with me. And the wall repairing work started. It took three days and the whole wall was renovated, ready with neat cement coating. Ten more days to go. Let it be dry and the next step is to paint the wall. After 16 June we will start paint.
Thanks to Anita Singh, Rajni Sharma, Pavan Gupta, Rajni Awal, Aradhana Sharma who have come forward to support. Gradually othe people are coming to help.
What have I learnt from this experience. Rest not till the goal is achieved. Focus on your goal. Don’t get disheartened if you are alone at the beginning. If you have will, there is way.
Looking forward to have a beautiful wall c block park. Our first step, a clean wall is complete. Next month in Samvada I am sure to share a painted wall. Together we can, we will.
