Noida To Soon House A Waste-To-Wonder Park
As reported by India Today, Noida is all set to open the gates for the new wildlife-themed attraction called Jungle Trail Park. Spread across 20 acres, the park has been built using 500 tonnes of industrial and mechanical waste, including fuel tanks, chains, scrap metal, and bolts. The park will welcome visitors from Noida, Delhi, Greater Noida, and Faridabad, and give them a wild experience, right in the middle of the city.
The park is being built in a public-private partnership (PPP) model between the Noida Authority and the private firm Z-Tech. Moreover, the entire project is made at an estimated cost of ₹22 crore. Jungle Trail Park will open for trial visits from June 25, while its official inauguration is scheduled for July, which will be led by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Jungle Trail showcases creativity and sustainability by transforming waste into a wildlife-themed park. Over 700 life-sized animal sculptures, crafted from recycled materials like old machine parts, chains, and scrap metal, will be on display for the visitors here.

Visitors can also enjoy a night safari experience, where the sculptures will be lit for an authentic jungle atmosphere. While talking to India Today, Isha Chaudhary, Vice President at Z-Tech, said that the park is a true testament to its commitment to environmental protection.
