The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has approved an ₹18.60 crore modernisation plan for the popular amusement park, Appu Ghar, located in Nigdi. This decision was made during the municipal corporation's general body meeting on Wednesday, as announced by BJP MLA Mahesh Landge on X.
The modernisation project encompasses a variety of enhancements to Appu Ghar, including the introduction of new attractions such as a Log Flume, Kids Roller Coaster, 360-degree Immersive Dome, a Niagara-style artificial waterfall, and a VR Zone. The plan also includes improvements to existing facilities, such as food courts, restrooms, and CCTV security systems.
Additionally, the civic body has extended the lease of M/s Pushpak Amusements for a two-year period, followed by a further 15-year extension under revised rent rates. This extension aims to support the park's operations and maintenance.
Appu Ghar, which has been a well-loved family destination in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Pune for decades, is named after Appu, the elephant mascot of the 1982 Asian Games. The park began operations in 1992 and has been a significant recreational space for the community. The modernisation plan reflects the BJP's commitment to enhancing Pimpri-Chinchwad as a premier tourism and entertainment destination.
