Respected sir/s

Sub: requestation for ban of playing outdoor games inside the park/garden
And to establish regulation to provide for safe and peaceful usage of corporation park’s by the general public -reg

We would like to submit that robinson park (Aringar anna poonga), division 52, zone-v, cemtery road, chennai 600 021, is one of the most important historical monument place in the pre and post independent history of tamilnadu, where from our tamilnadu political history started and it has also heritages value of present chennai and old town of british government.


It is significant to state that now it has been used by more than 10, 000 people living in and around old washermanept and royapuram area for their early walking practice, yoga, relaxing with families in an healthy ambiance etc.,

Now one third of the area ( total extent 20000 square meter) of the park has been used for playing tennis, cricket, etc., throughout the day, though it is specifically for usage of general public as park. The park is not a playground. Further due to their playing actives, the dust and smoke spread out from the ground causing health hazards to the general public and elderly people who used to walk around the park and garden and it is also causing air pollution.

Moreover the thirty years old live tree in the park was cut down/rooted out on 01/02/2016 by some of the miscreants as it causing disturbance to their playing activities, without any permission from any of the government authorities, i.E., collector of chennai/chennai corporation/forest department/police authority. Further they are also occupying the children amusement area for playing tennis, cricket etc,


Hence we request your good office to take necessary steps against the miscreants who cut down the 30 years old live tree for their own benefit and also to ban playing outdoor games inside the park and garden

Thanking you
