The park is developed over an area of 36 hectares, with a budget of 21.70 crore rupees. This park was an outcome of the fact that existing zoo Gulab Bagh failed to facilitate the norms prescribed norms by the Central Zoo Authority, New Delhi. During its construction, the civil construction works are being executed by the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Ltd., while service road was built by the Public Works Department. The forestry related works are being done by the Forest Department. The park was inaugurated on 12 April 2015 by Prakash Javdekar, an Indian Minister holding portfolios of Environment and Forests.
