The Greater Chennai Corporation will build 36 new parks and 11 playgrounds in Chennai, India, as part of the first phase of the Chief Minister’s Integrated Urban Development Mission.

The project aims to expand the green cover of the city and provide more recreational space for residents. The corporation is currently tendering the work for these sites, which will be distributed across nine different zones including Alandur, Manali, and Anna Nagar.

Some locations include areas near the airport entrance and spaces beneath bridges. These developments are funded by a state-wide mission with a total budget of ₹1.5 lakh crore. The mission allocates ₹2,000 crore specifically for urban greening and open-space development across Tamil Nadu.
