PARKS and recreational spaces are among the state government's areas of focus in the city this year. As part of the announcements for the municipal administration department made by minister KN Nehru, the city will get 14 new parks and 50 sponge parks. In addition, a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) park will be set up at a cost of 5 crore.

Corporation officials told TNIE that locations were being identified for the STEM park, possibly in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar or Anna Nagar zones, but the locations or the features of the park have not been finalised yet. It was also announced that the Anna Nagar tower park (Dr Visvesvaraya Tower Park) will be upgraded to global standards through public-private partnership (PPP).
