Over 1,000 signboards would be installed in the park. Work on an environmental education centre, gallery and nursery was also completed. One fourth of the 58-acre poonga would be the conservation zone to which public would have no access.
The plan for the remaining 300-acre of the park had also been prepared and work would start in January, said Mr. Stalin.
