The idea of a community or public playground is about creating an accessible recreational space for all. However, in many cases, initiating a playground project might fail due to insufficient funds or regulations/restrictions. The first challenge is largely to set the project in motion and, most importantly, get the community’s positive reception and, if possible, its involvement, thus ensuring the project's success and sustainability.

International architecture practice Studio Saar has redeveloped Udaan Park, a community park in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for its not-for-profit client Dharohar. The newly transformed landscape sees an underused, run-down lakeside park evolve into an accessible and inclusive public space. Set on the banks of Swaroop Sagar, one of Udaipur's seven historic lakes that attract a large number of migratory birds. Udaan is one of the very few public open spaces in the center of the city and on the banks of a lake. The redevelopment is the first park to be completed in Dharohar’s city-wide, community-led initiative, ‘10 Lakh Vriksh’ to revive a series of parks and gardens and to provide more breathable, green spaces for the city and its people.
