Udupi, Feb 16: A place which till recently used to be covered by a heap of filth and garbage has been converted into a beautiful park, thanks to the young people from here who dreamt of such a possibility. Instead of the waste that used to cover the area that made the people nauseous, a park that attracts the visitors, has been formed in its place.

This Asare beach park has come up at Kadike in Badanidiyoor village, Malpe. The unique feature of this park is that it has been created in just ten months. During the period of Covid lockdown, the area was cleaned and a park was built there with the contribution of young people in the form of hard work. Durgamba Yuvaka Vrinda and Mahila Vrinda took the lead in transforming the site into an attractive park.

In the past, people used to bring whatever waste they had, and dispose of it off here. The villagers who ardently wanted this to stop, conceptualised the construction of a beach park here. Without seeking government's financial support, the above two organizations pooled money together and built the park. Now the organization plans to arrange for food at the site for the tourists visiting the park.

The park has been built at a cost of Rs 18 lac, and it has a 6.5 feet tall stone statue of Subhash Chandra Bose. Swing, slide, concrete hut, two huts made of coconut fronds and hay, decorative island around the park, 15 seat benches for the tourists etc have been provided. Flower plants have been planted around the park.

The young people have transformed the area in just ten months. Honorary president of Durgambika Yuvaka Vrinda, Pabhakar Tingalaya, says that a sum of Rs 18 lac contributed by the people has been spent to make this park a reality.
