The 'Nagar Van' (City Forest) scheme is an initiative by the Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to create at least one forest in every city with a Municipal Corporation.
These parks are designed to act as carbon sinks to combat high air pollution levels in the National Capital Region.
The location is situated in a high-density urban residential cluster, making it a critical green patch for the local ecosystem.
Nagar Van Park in New Delhi is an urban green space initiative designed to increase forest cover within dense residential sectors. The park focuses on creating natural micro-environments that serve as air-purifying lungs for the surrounding Sagar Pur and Sabzi Mandi neighborhoods. It features walking paths and landscaped greenery intended to mitigate the heat-island effect common in Delhi's urban sprawl. The site is a local community project prioritizing basic nature interaction over highly developed architectural amenities. It serves primarily as a neighborhood-level recreational ground for residents.

Carry your own water and supplies as commercial facilities are limited within the park premises.
Stick to the established pathways to avoid uneven terrain in less developed sections.
Avoid visiting during the peak heat of mid-day in summer, as the park offers limited shade.
