Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda and Energy and Tourism Minister K.J. George on Tuesday inaugurated the Kuvempu Theme Park in HBR Layout, developed by the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

The park, spread across 1,500 sq. m in the Sarvagnanagar Assembly constituency, was developed at an estimated cost of ₹4.65 crore. The site, which was earlier overgrown with scrub vegetation, has been transformed into a public green space.

The park features a 700-metre-long walking track, an open-air theatre with seating for 100 people, a gazebo, drinking water facilities, toilets, children’s play equipment, and an open gym. It also has stone benches, special varieties of plants, and a lighting system.

Following the inauguration, the ministers launched several development works in Sarvagnanagar, including the white-topping of Nagawara Main Road, the rejuvenation of Kacharakanahalli Lake, and a waste segregation centre. They also inspected a Leather Industries Development Corporation of Karnataka (LIDKAR) unit and the proposed market site on Banaswadi Main Road.
