Env Park & Golf Course

Creation of the Mayo College Environment Park with Polo Ground and Golf Course is the fruit of the joint efforts of the Mayo fraternity and the fulfillment of a dream. Metamorphosis of this area from the arid scrub and stony waste to verdant parkland was a five year effort which started in 2004 with the assistance of the Jaipur Chapter. Thereafter the planning and designing of the Golf Course was undertaken by Ranjit Nanda Associates assisted by the Delhi Chapter. Raising of resources was a major exercise which involved a very large number of Old Boys and a sustained effort in 2007 and 2008. A modern sprinkler system for perennial irrigation has been laid out and latest maintenance equipment has been provisioned. Each of the nine fairways has three tees, i.e. 'Championship', 'Regular' or 'Ladies' meeting requirement of a regular Golf Course.

The park has myriad benefits. Apart from greening the vast tract, raising subsoil water levels and changing the climate of the area, it will be home to a large number of trees, animals and birds at the five ponds which trap the rain water. It provides students a medium for inculcating love for the habitat, a lesson in forestation, water preservation and practical experience in combating environmental degradation and preparing them to meet the challenges of the future. Creation of this course is testimony to the monumental effort of the entire Mayo fraternity, well-wishers and major help rendered by the Indian Army-kind courtesy Lt General Aditya Singh, PVSM, AVSM(Retd) who was the Project Director and Chairman, Mayo College Committee at the time of execution of the Project. The Environment Park was inaugurated by H H Maharaja Gaj Singh of Jodhpur, President General Council on 29 Nov 2008.
