To boost the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of children through a variety of play activities, equipment and installations, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has created facilities at the civic body-owned Bharat Sawant Palm Garden in Vishrantwadi.

The project, in partnership with the Bernard van Leer Foundation and with technical support from Egis India, is part of the Urban95 initiative.

This is the seventh project to be carried out under phase II of the Urban95 Pune programme.
