One of the most important and impressive fact about this park is that you will see 7 wonders of the world. In fact these 7 wonders of the world are made up of industrial waste and other waste material like scrap metal, discarded auto parts, procured from the landfills of the city. In this way waste material is used into a good form. That is why this park becomes an attraction point for everyone and yes it is unique in itself. The park looks like a tiny island developed in the congested surroundings of the Sarai Kale Khan Inter-State Bus Terminus and Outer Ring Road. It will provide a boost to the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' and will forge ahead towards transforming waste to wealth.
South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has installed solar trees and rooftop panels that will generate 50 KW powers. And the surplus power will be sold to the power distribution companies to earn revenue. Do you know that the park has been constructed within six month's time? In the development of the park around 150 tons of scrap, 5 artists, 7 supporting artists, 70 welders and helpers have been used. According to SDMC the park built at a cost of Rs 7.5 crore and will operate from 11 AM to 11 PM.
