CONCEPT PAPER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF KUND PARK
DISTRICT SWABI
Kund Park is located on the confluence of river Kabul & river Indus near
Attock Bridge on the main G.T road between Peshawar & Islamabad. Due
to its enviable location the park is visited by tens of thousands of people
particularly by school children from Peshawar and Islamabad & adjoining
districts of Charsadda, Mardan, Nowshehra in NWFP and Attock &
Rawalpindi of Punjab Province. The total area of the park is about 802
kanal. The open lawns of the Kund Park contain variety of trees with
viewing decks for enjoying scenic flow of river Indus and river Kabul
from the same point.
The park also lodges a beautiful wild life park where some rare
species like that of bear, leopard, deer & birds have been kept for
public interest.
To enhance the beauty of the park some additional facilities i.e.
leveling & land scapping, construction of bridges & stairs facilities
along side river Kabul & river Indus are required. The detail of each
facility is discussed along with estimated cost as under with the
proposal that the either the federal government may release funds
for them or private sector may implement them on lease basis: -
1. Bridge on river Kabul
A bridge for light vehicular traffic is required to be constructed for
restoration of direct access to the Kund Park. The approximate cost
on bridge on river Kabul has been worked out to be Rs. 100 million.

2. Supporting wall and stairs on the bank of two rivers
The length of the bank of the river Indus on the east and river Kabul
on south-west is about 2 km. STC has planned to raise supporting
wall and construct stairs containing over head shelter for the
tourists along side the river Kabul & river Indus. The cost estimates
on this facility have been to be calculated Rs. 100 million.
3. Leveling & land scaping.
The total area of the park is 802 kanal which needs to be rearranged
scientifically, making that plan besides raising variety of trees and
ornamental plants. Estimated cost on leveling & land scapping is
Rs.50 million.

4. Tourist Hostel.
Kund Park is lacking appropriate accommodation facility for
tourists. Hence, some suitable structure for lodging of the tourists
is required. The Corporation is of the view that two hostels one
each overlooking river Kabul and other river Indus are required for
Kund Park. Estimated cost of the two hostels is Rs.100 million.
5. Construction of Restaurants
Two restaurants with modern facilities are proposed to be
constructed i.e. one on river Kabul and another on Indus. Each
one having tuck shops and souvenir shops for the tourists
attraction would give remarkable look. The estimated cost for
construction of two restaurants with the additional facility of tuck
shops & souvenir shops is Rs. 100 million.

6. Children Park.
Children Park would be a major facility for school going children as
usually school students visit Kund park in group form. The
estimated cost for development of Children Park is Rs.10 million.

Funds are required for the repair of the old buildings i.e. one Rest
house, 4 huts, golf club, foot path & toilets. The estimated cost on
this facility is Rs.10 million.
