Atal Sarovar - Rajkot smart city Under Smart Cities Mission, Government of India

Many activities and experiences have been integrated into the land surrounding the lake, its edge as well as the water surface. The realm is entered through an ornamental southern approach-way which is flanked on both sides by labyrinth gardens which lead across the twin vehicular entry roads to ample parking spaces. Formal gardens on either sides of the ornamental arrival plaza lead ahead to an events ground in the west and a botanical garden in the east. Other experiences surrounding the lake include a food court, senior citizens’ garden, kids’ park, toy train track, Ferris wheel, flower garden and crafts shop. The arrival plaza & an eastern amphitheater get projected into the waters’ edge to form viewing decks to witness open air performances or look out at the musical fountains in the lake’s centre. An elevated walkway leads from the lake’s western edge to a bird-park island, while boating jetties are planned along the northern edge. A promenade traces the entire edge of the lake allowing walkers and joggers a circumambulation of the lake waters.
