The financial benefits expected from this project are the profits earned from the sales of passes, membership cards, rents from refreshment stall owners and car parking slots. These profits will be calculated after deducting the expenses incurred for all the operations and maintenance of the park. The investors will also be given the share of their profits. The social benefits for the community will be having a place where they could meet each other, could have quality time with family and could engage in physical activities.
