Urban Eco Park
Nature Reserve and Green Space: The Urban Eco Park (Kalpakavanam Urban Park) is a significant initiative to create a managed forest and green space near the urban area, serving as the city's 'green lung'. It focuses on ecological preservation, promoting biodiversity, and offering a natural environme nt for recreation, away from the concrete city. The park features dense plantations, nature trails, walking tracks, and areas for relaxation. It is a key part of Telangana's green cover initiative (Haritha Haram) and provides a much-needed interface between the city's residents and the natural environment, promoting health, well-being, and ecological awareness among visitors.:
