Lumbini Amusement Park

Project Overview

Located in the growing Bhairahawa-Lumbini corridor, Lumbini Amusement Park provides a much-needed civic recreational asset for families, school excursions, and visiting tourists.

D Sketchbook (P) Ltd. was commissioned to provide master planning, landscape architecture, and recreational pavilion design to transform open land into a safe, engaging, and commercially viable family entertainment hub.

Master Plan Framework

The park layout balances high-energy attraction zones with tranquil landscape buffers:

1. Entry Plaza & Ticketing Pavilion: Wide pedestrian forecourt that manages peak holiday queues with intuitive turnstiles and shaded ticket booths.
2. Central Water Promenade: An elongated water canal and fountain court that provides a visual spine, cools passing breezes, and acts as an orienting landmark for visitors.
3. Themed Activity Quadrants: Specific zones grouped by age demographic—toddler splash areas, family rides, thrill rides, and food courts—preventing overcrowding in any single zone.

Landscape & Climate Strategy

Because summer temperatures in the Terai can exceed 40°C, the landscape architecture was critical:

• Over 60% of primary walkways are shaded by broad-canopy indigenous trees and tensile fabric canopies.
• Extensive grass swales and retention basins capture monsoon downpours, preventing surface flooding and recharging local aquifers.
