Beneath the concrete cloverleaf of Noida’s Mahamaya Flyover in Sector 94, on 18.27 acres of what was previously unused urban land, something genuinely unusual opened on 1 December 2025. Jungle Trail is India’s first large-scale waste-to-wildlife park — a place where over 500 tonnes of industrial scrap metal, chains, nuts, bolts, gears, and mechanical parts have been transformed into 650+ life-size animal sculptures from every continent, arranged across six themed natural habitat zones. Walk through it and you will cross a desert, a wetland, a polar zone, an African savanna, an Asian jungle, and an aquatic world — all made from recycled industrial material, all free-standing in a park where real wildflowers, grasses, and trees grow alongside the metal sculptures, and where real birds and butterflies have found the vegetation attractive enough to take up residence.
The concept draws direct inspiration from Delhi’s Waste to Wonder Park and Bharat Darshan Park, built by the same philosophy of urban public art from recycled material. Developed at a cost of ₹25 crore on a Public-Private Partnership model, Jungle Trail was inaugurated by Gautam Buddh Nagar MP Dr. Mahesh Sharma and Noida MLA Pankaj Singh before opening to the public.

The Concept — Waste to Wildlife
Jungle Trail takes industrial scrap and makes it beautiful. Every sculpture in the park was fabricated by skilled artisans working with discarded material:
- Iron chains and pipes form the skeletons of large mammals — elephants, rhinoceroses, giraffes
- Nuts, bolts, and gears create the surface texture of reptile scales on crocodiles and pythons
- Vehicle parts are reconfigured into the silhouettes of birds
- Metal sheets are shaped and welded into fish and marine creatures for the aquatic zone
The result is an aesthetic that is simultaneously industrial and organic — sculptures that look almost naturalistic from a distance, becoming more abstract and revealing their material nature on close inspection. This dual quality is the park’s most consistent visual achievement.
The educational dimension is built into the installation design rather than signage-heavy: brief explanatory panels at each sculpture identify the species, habitat, and conservation status. The park functions as a passive wildlife education experience rather than a lecture — children absorb information through exploration and curiosity.
The Six Zones
Jungle Trail is arranged across six themed natural habitat environments, each housing sculptures representative of that ecosystem:
Zone 1: African Savanna
The park’s most dramatic zone — large mammals at scale. Life-size giraffes (accurately depicting the 5 to 6-metre height of adult specimens), lions in hunting postures, elephants with raised trunks, wildebeest, zebras, and hippos arranged across an open grassland simulation with actual grass and dry-zone vegetation allowed to grow between the metal sculptures.
The African zone is both the most photogenic section of the park and the one most effective at conveying scale — standing next to a life-size giraffe sculpture made of scrap metal makes the animal’s actual dimensions suddenly tangible.
Zone 2: Asian Jungle
Tigers, leopards, Asian elephants, Indian rhinoceros, orangutans, peacocks, and Indian bison (Gaur) arranged in a denser vegetation setting simulating tropical forest. The peacock sculptures are particularly detailed, with feather-spread tail formations achieved through curved metal sheets welded into overlapping layers.
Real peacocks occasionally enter the park grounds from the surrounding Noida area — unscripted but consistent with the zone’s theme.
Zone 3: Desert Zone
Camels, Arabian oryx, desert foxes, scorpions (at magnified scale), and birds of prey arranged in sandy terrain with desert-adapted plantings. The scorpion sculptures, built with the articulated-joint detail that conveys the insect’s actual movement mechanism, are among the most technically intricate fabrications in the park.
Zone 4: Wetlands / Rainforest Zone
Crocodiles, anacondas, frogs, water birds (herons, kingfishers, cranes), and amphibian species surrounding a small water body. The wetland zone includes real aquatic plantings that have established themselves around the pond since the park’s opening.
Boating: A small lake within the wetlands zone hosts boat rides — available separately from the entry ticket.
Zone 5: Polar Zone
Polar bears, penguins, Arctic foxes, and walruses in a zone with the visual language of icy terrain simulated through design. The polar bear sculptures, some standing at full adult height of over 2.5 metres, are among the park’s most striking individual pieces.
Zone 6: Aquatic Zone
The marine and freshwater zone, positioned near the children’s play area. Sculptures of sharks, dolphins, octopuses, manta rays, sea turtles, and colourful reef fish are arranged across a dedicated section where the slides, swings, and climbing equipment in the children’s play area are built into and around the marine creature sculptures — a child plays inside a giant shark; a slide emerges from a dolphin’s back.
This zone is the most successful in the park for young children, combining the play area’s functional purpose with the marine sculpture theme in a way that children find immediately intuitive and exciting.
Adventure Activities (Separate Charges)
Adventure sports at Jungle Trail are managed in partnership with Rock Sport, an established outdoor adventure operator:
| Activity | Charge (Approximate) |
| Zipline | Separate; verify at station |
| Zip Cycling (aerial cable cycle) | Separate; verify at station |
| Rock Climbing Wall | Separate; verify at station |
| Boating | Separate; verify at station |
| Bungee-Style Setups | Separate; verify at station |
| Archery | Separate; verify at station |
| Rifle Shooting | Separate; verify at station |
All adventure activities require minimum height and age eligibility. Safety equipment (harnesses, helmets) is provided by Rock Sport staff.
Specific per-activity charges are set by Rock Sport and may vary. Budget approximately ₹100 to ₹300 per activity based on typical park adventure pricing in Noida.
Children’s Play Area
Located in the Aquatic Zone, the children’s play area integrates marine-themed sculpture with functional play equipment:
- Slides built into shark and dolphin sculptures
- Swings with octopus-arm theming
- Climbing nets on coral reef and whale structures
- Safe soft ground for younger children
This is one of the most creative children’s play area designs of any park in the NCR region — the integration of play equipment and wildlife sculpture is seamless enough that children interact with the sculptures as play equipment rather than as display objects.
Night Safari Experience
Jungle Trail’s 10:00 PM closing time is a significant differentiator from most outdoor parks in Noida, which close at sunset. The park maintains illumination after dark, creating a “night safari” atmosphere with the metal sculptures lit from strategic angles.
The illuminated sculptures at night — particularly the large mammals of the African zone and the marine creatures of the Aquatic zone — create a dramatically different visual experience from the daytime visit. Several TripAdvisor reviews specifically mention the evening/night experience as the highlight of their visit.
The Amphitheatre (1,000 seats) can host evening performances and events — check the park’s current events calendar.

Food note: The food court at Jungle Trail operates with local food stalls and kiosks rather than branded chains. Multiple TripAdvisor reviews mention the food court positively for value. Outside food is permitted (unlike commercial theme parks).
How to Reach Jungle Trail Noida
Address: Near Mahamaya Flyover, Sector 94, Noida, Uttar Pradesh – 201313.
The park entrance is located beneath the cloverleaf of the Mahamaya Flyover — an unusual but distinctive landmark that makes the park easy to identify.
By Metro:
The nearest Noida Metro stations on the Aqua Line (Noida–Greater Noida corridor) are in Sector 71 / Sector 50 area. From these stations, the park is approximately 5 to 7 km by auto or e-rickshaw.
The Blue Line (Delhi Metro extending into Noida) stations at Noida Sector 18, Sector 32, or Sector 52 are approximately 6 to 10 km away by road.
By Road: The Mahamaya Flyover is a prominent Noida landmark on the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway corridor. Set destination as “Jungle Trail Park Noida” or “Mahamaya Flyover Sector 94 Noida” on Google Maps.
From Delhi (Connaught Place): Approximately 32 km via DND Flyway — 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic.
From Central Noida (Sector 18): Approximately 8 km — 20 to 25 minutes by cab.
By Cab: Ola and Uber are available throughout Noida and Delhi. Set destination as “Jungle Trail Noida Sector 94.”
Best Time to Visit
Evening visits (4:00 PM to 8:00 PM): The most recommended time. The lower afternoon sun creates strong directional light that enhances the metallic texture of the sculptures. Temperatures are cooler from 5:00 PM onward. Staying through the park’s illuminated evening phase provides both the daytime walk-through and the night safari experience in a single visit.
Night visits (8:00 PM to 10:00 PM): Unique among Noida parks. The illuminated sculpture experience after dark is genuinely atmospheric — the African savanna zone with spotlit giraffes and lions visible against the dark sky is the park’s most dramatic visual.
Weekday mornings (11:00 AM to 1:00 PM): Quietest window. Small crowds allow unobstructed photography of the sculptures and no wait at adventure activity stations.
Avoid peak weekend afternoons (2:00 PM to 6:00 PM): The park is new (opened December 2025) and novelty brings significant weekend footfall. Adventure activity queues and the children’s play area can be crowded.
What Makes Jungle Trail Different
In a city with multiple parks, gardens, and the established Waste to Wonder Park (Sector 18), Jungle Trail’s differentiation comes from:
Scale: 18.27 acres and 650+ sculptures is significantly larger than comparable waste-art installations in NCR. The six-zone arrangement creates genuine variety across a walk-through route.
Animal accuracy: The sculptures are not abstract representations — they are proportionally accurate, species-specific installations. A giraffe sculpture is giraffe-height. A polar bear sculpture is polar-bear-height. This commitment to scale creates educational impact.
Real ecosystem integration: Unlike fully paved parks, Jungle Trail has allowed natural vegetation to establish itself between and around the sculptures. A TripAdvisor visitor in early 2026 reported spotting real birds, butterflies, and a mongoose during their visit — unscripted wildlife among the metal wildlife.
Night-to-day range: The 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM operating window means the park functions as genuinely different spaces across different times of day.
