Some of the existing parks in West Kochi were in misuse and lay in disrepair . These were evaluated to identify key issues and redevelopment proposals were prepared. Eraveli park’s high compound walls were replaced by bollards to ensure surveillance from the wider community. Wire mesh fencing was provided at bollard height to keep goats and stray dogs away. Soft and hardscape works were undertaken and mature trees were trimmed. Gym and play equipment were provided to cater to wider user groups. The park was integrated with surrounding areas through pilot projects on a government run day care centre and a couple of streets to revitalize the area and make it conducive for vulnerable age groups.
