People enjoying at Sabarmati Riverfront Promenade
Sabarmati Riverfront serves as a well-planned waterfront to the city of Ahmedabad along the river of Sabarmati. It is an extension of Sabarmati Ashram established by Mahatma Gandhi. It consists of numerous parks to serve the city’s green cover. Around 26% of its land is being utilised to create public parks, gardens and plaza for public recreation. These green spaces would enhance the livability of the people in neighbourhood and city providing relaxation from the densely built environment. Riverfront Parks at Subhash Bridge and Usmanpura have already been open to public since October,2013 while the Riverfront Park at Khanpur is proposed. A permanent flower garden has been gifted to the city which runs along the Sabarmati Riverfront. Both, seasonal and non-seasonal flowers could be enjoyed by people throughout the year. It provides entry to public at nominal rates. Also, every year,flower show is organised by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation since 2013[1] which is open to public free of cost. An urban forest extending from Vasna Barrage to Paldi is also proposed that would serve as a neighbourhood park as well as dense wooden area with botanical garden to the nearby areas.[2]
