Noida’s Japanese Park in Sector 94 is expected to open to the public in October, giving residents a new nine-acre recreational space being developed at a cost of approximately ₹14 crore, according to officials cited by Live Hindustan – NCR.
The park is being designed around Japanese cultural themes associated with nature, peace and spirituality. Planned facilities include Japanese-style swings, a dragon-shaped swing, selfie points, walking and jogging tracks, waterfalls, small bridges and two water bodies. A footpath will pass over the central water body, while a children’s play area is also being developed within the park.
Officials said several parts of the project have already been completed, including the boundary wall, pathways, water-related works and a hut at the main entrance. The Japanese gazebo and Zen garden are in the final stages of construction. A Zen garden, also known as karesansui or a dry garden in Japanese tradition, is intended as a space associated with quiet reflection and meditation.
The project combines recreational infrastructure with landscape design rather than providing only an open lawn. The inclusion of walking paths, water features, shaded structures and planted areas is intended to create multiple uses within the site, including casual visits, children’s play and outdoor exercise. The report did not specify the exact operating hours, maintenance arrangements after opening or whether any facilities will carry user charges.
Safety infrastructure is also being planned. Surveillance cameras will be installed at 60 locations across the park, with the footage connected through an optical fibre network to a video wall and a control room. The surveillance system is estimated to cost ₹1.20 crore, or ₹1,20,99,000, according to the report.
The authority has invited applications from agencies for the surveillance work until October 5, with the tender scheduled to be opened on Tuesday. If enough agencies meet the prescribed standards, the financial bids will be opened. This means the park’s physical works and its full security system are moving through related but separate implementation stages.
The project adds to a wider push to improve public parks in the Noida and Greater Noida urban region. The Greater Noida Authority is also preparing to upgrade D-Park in Knowledge Park-5, Greater Noida West. The proposed civil and maintenance contract will cover boundary walls, footpaths, interlocking tiles, benches and other repairs for two years, at an estimated cost of ₹70.52 lakh.
A separate agency is also expected to be selected for maintaining trees, shrubs and lawns along major roads, including 45-metre, 60-metre and 80-metre-wide connecting roads, the service road along the 130-metre-wide road and green areas in Sector 7. For the Japanese Park, the immediate milestone is the completion of the remaining works and the authority’s decision on the surveillance tender before public opening.
