Bengaluru parks score low on accessibility

A recent study of 120 parks across the city by think tank Pacta revealed that only 34.8% of them had barrier-free entrance for wheelchair users. Residents highlighted issues such as lack of ramps and gates obstructing entry in neighborhoods like Rajajinagar and Thippasandra. Experts also recommended improvements like installing Braille signages, ensuring safe exits, and providing sensory elements in public parks.
