Sir,

The kids play area in Vijayanagar First Stage public park in front of Sri Yoganarasimhaswamy Temple is in a deplorable condition and needs immediate attention.

It is disheartening to see the neglect and disregard for the safety and well-being of our kids in such a community space.

The play equipment is old, rusty and desperately needs repair. Swings are broken, slides are chipped and dangerous, and the climbing structures are unstable. This poses a risk to children who visit the park to play. The park is a public space meant for enjoyment and development of children.

I request the authorities concerned to look into the issue as early as possible and make the play area child-friendly.
