According to narratives, the INR 2.5 crore upgradation was facilitated from the MLA fund of Aaditya Thackeray and the MLC fund from Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. With the upgradation, the ground now has a 15,000 sq ft, sports stadium.
Some of the facilities include kabaddi and badminton court, a football field, jogging track, skating rink for children, sidewalk, open gymnasium, reclining benches, eco-friendly LED lights and number games created using LED lights.
