The Model Town Park is located in Model Town, Pakistan.[1] It was developed in 1985 by then Governor of Punjab, Ghulam Jilani Khan. It has 2.0 km jogging tracks.[2]
Space for this park was earmarked in the original plans in 1920s. Till 1984 it was solid waste, and night soil burial ground. At that time it was a good solution because this waste was all organic waste. As a result, the salinity in the area was eliminated by the soil improvement through addition of organic waste. By 1985, planned landscaping took place.
