Tiruchi’s Heritage Park work apace
The Hindu
Through statues and murals, people can learn about the city’s vibrant history
The work on establishing the Purathana Poonga (Heritage Park) on Butterworth Road, meant to celebrate the culture and history of Tiruchi, is nearing completion. The park, being built on 1.27 acres of land in the heart of the city, was once used as a horse stable. The archway of the stable remains intact and will be used as the main entrance to the park.
The park was planned in 2019 and the civil work for it began in December that year. However, as work picked up pace, the work had to be stalled in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. “But for the lockdown, we would have finished the work and thrown open the park by now. The work is still going on and we hope to open it in two or three months,” an official of the civic body said.
