  "account": "Noida's upcoming Japanese Park in Sector 94 will bring Zen to the neighbourhood, with attractions such as a dragon-shaped swing, Japanese-style gazebos, a Zen garden, waterfalls and themed gardens. Spread over nine acres, the Rs 14-crore project will be developed near Okhla Bird Sanctuary metro station and serve residents of Sectors 94, 95, 96 and 97, as well as areas like Supernova. The park's design incorporates selfie points, small bridges, paved pathways and areas for walking and jogging.\n\nA prominent feature of the park is its Zen garden, inspired by traditional Japanese landscaping, which will offer a serene environment for meditation and introspection. Japanese-style gazebos will also be built within the park, providing visitors with quiet spaces to sit and enjoy the landscaped surroundings. These quieter areas will complement more recreational attractions, including the dragon-shaped swing and water features.\n\nThe park's layout combines landscaped spaces with facilities for walking, exercising, and outdoor leisure. Jogging and walking tracks, along with paved pathways connecting different sections of the park, are included to cater to residents seeking an outdoor space for daily exercise and recreation. However, some sections of the pathways were still incomplete during a recent site visit, with paving, landscaping, and other finishing work yet to be completed.\n\nTo develop the park's green cover, Noida Authority plans to use the Miyawaki technique, which involves planting vegetation closely together to encourage dense growth. Officials expect the greenery to mature over the next two to three years, even after the main construction and finishing work are completed. Currently, around 40 workers are involved in completing the remaining tasks, including tile work, landscaping, and sections of the pathways. Security arrangements, such as CCTV cameras and monitoring through a dedicated control room, are also planned for the site.\n\nOriginally scheduled to open before Diwali, the park's opening has been pushed back to December 15, pending the completion of the remaining construction, landscaping, and finishing work.",
