The Waste to Wonder Theme Park at Rajmata Jijau Udyan in Pimple Saudagar is set to become a unique attraction for Pimpri Chinchwad residents, with 17 world-famous monuments being recreated innovatively from waste materials. From the Taj Mahal to the Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa to Leaning Tower of Pisa, each replica is designed to reflect global heritage while promoting environmental sustainability through the creative reuse of discarded materials.

The park, currently under development, aims to offer visitors a visually stunning experience with high-quality replicas and well-planned facilities, including food stalls, parking, ticket counters, landscaping, and proper safety measures.

During an inspection of the ongoing work, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) Additional Commissioner Pradip Jambhale Patil emphasized that the remaining construction must be completed within the next two months with meticulous planning. “Each structure in the Waste to Wonder Theme Park should maintain high quality.
