The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has started a project to revive lost playgrounds in the city under the 'Bhubaneswar Active' component of the Smart City Mission. In the first phase, six playgrounds have been identified and will be renovated with amenities for outdoor games. The BDA plans to construct boundary walls, plant trees, and develop the turfs. They are also considering setting up open gym facilities. The BDA has allocated Rs 18.49 crore for the development of these playgrounds and aims to complete the work within four months.
