GMDA to build 2-km synthetic track at Leisure Valley Park
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority will start work next month on a nearly 2-km synthetic walking track at Leisure Valley Park in Sector 28. The project, awarded for about Rs 3.30 crore, is expected to be completed by September next year.
The existing track is unpaved. The new 16-mm surface will have recycled rubber and EPDM layers over a concrete base. Survey work has begun, while two personnel will handle daily cleaning and maintenance. The contractor will maintain the track for five years after construction. GMDA officials said the facility is intended to improve conditions for the park’s morning and evening walkers and runners.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Synthetic surfaces are commonly used to provide a more even running surface than bare soil, but their performance depends on drainage, joint quality and regular cleaning. The concrete base must remain stable because settlement can create uneven patches and trip risks. Users will also need clear access arrangements while work is under way. The main signal after opening will be whether the track remains consistent through heavy monsoon use and daily footfall.
