Help Support the Gaura Nagar Community Park

A new park is sorely needed for Mayapur’s children in the rapidly expanding Gaura Nagar area, north of the ISKCON Mayapur campus. To achieve this, some years back the Mayapur Master Plan set aside about one and a quarter acres of land in this area.. It is prime land and we are extraordinarily grateful for the vision of ISKCON Mayapur in providing this essential green space in what is otherwise a concrete jungle.

Initial support from generous community members has developed the land to the point where at least kids can start playing sports there.  But there is a lot more to be done. Playground equipment like slides, swings and seesaws are needed as well as walkways and landscaping.

On top of this we also need to complete the raising of the land. Like most of the land in that area, it is low lying and most of it still needs to be filled up about 3-4 feet or it will be unusable in the four months of the rainy season. 

In order to make the park fully usable year round, we will need a great quantity of earth to fill up the land so we can plant trees and put in play equipment and other facilities for the children and parents. Fully raising the land will cost about $20,000. 

In addition to the earth filling we estimate that the initial play equipment, walkways and landscaping will cost about $15,000 of which we have pledges and contributions of $4,000 so far.

In addition to the support coming from the Mayapur community, we are reaching out to devotees around the world to help. By serving the children of Sri Mayapur, we are sure you will enjoy immense blessings from Srila Prabhupada, Sri Sri Pancha Tattva, Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Sri Sri Prahlad Nrsimhadeva. 

The MCS committee will be managing the funds coming in for the park and overseeing the development.. And we’ll be reporting on our progress here. Thank you for taking the time to read this and we look forward to your support.
