Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the Uyyakondan Canal Riverfront Development project through videoconferencing on Wednesday. The project, undertaken under the Smart Cities Mission, was an effort to beautify the banks of the canal and make it a site for public use.
Three parks have been constructed along the 2.60 km long stretch of the north bank Uyyakondan Canal at a cost of ₹18.32 crore. Walkways, a park with fountains and an open-air amphitheatre where art and cultural shows can be held, were some of its features.
The first park, named Tiger park spans 3,420 square metres, the second Peacock park spans 5,186.34 square metres and the third, Rose Park, is spread over 2,773.35 square metres. A children’s play area of 1,500 square metres has been set up.
