Baskar Colony Park Kulam is a local independent pond located inside the park in Saligramam area. The pond is almost square shaped. A children’s park and an open gym area are located adjacent to the pond. Water is partly filled and brownish in colour. Fishes and swans are seen in the pond. Two inlets are connected and the pond is completely protected with a compound wall in the four sides, provided with a walkway. Benefits from the implementation of this project include improvement of water quality by and year-round storage of water in the pond with an inlet provided. The pond has ground water recharge potential and hence fish culture will be developed. The pond will serve as a spot of recreation for the residents with walking path for the local residents, children’s play ground and LED lighting arrangements. Harvesting rooftop rain water from the nearby houses and buildings will increase the inflow into the pond. With proper counseling and guidance by the GCC Engineers, the people of the area will take care of the pond and hence, water body will be protected.  The pond has been restored under the Chennai Smart City project funds.
