The 12 best parks in Mumbai

Visit the best parks in Mumbai to spot leopards, play cricket and investigate history. What more could you want?

Mumbai is a busy city if you’ll allow us to state the blindingly obvious. It is a city of soaring skyscrapers and jam-packed shantytowns, with over 18 million people going about their business in between. It is always a delight to remember that hidden in among all of the chaos are swathes of tranquil green spaces, beautiful parks and gardens that are perfect for a morning jog or an afternoon walk. Or both, if you’re feeling particularly energetic.

There are plenty of things to do when visiting the best parks in Mumbai. The northern fringes of Mumbai are home to a national park with leopards, monkeys and snakes within, while the glitzy suburbs of Bandra boast a beach-side park that attracts Bollywood celebrities and ordinary people alike. Mumbai is famous for its bars , restaurants and markets , but the city's parks more than hold their own.

An email you’ll actually love

Best parks in Mumbai

1.  Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP)

It’s about three times the size of New York City’s Central Park and a protected zone that’s home to over 35 species of mammals, 274 species of birds and 170 species of butterflies.  Sign up for a trail and meet with Adivasis, the forest-dwelling tribals who co-exist with the animals (even man-eaters!). Spot the flying fox, leopards or hear songs of bulbuls. Learn about snakes from sarpamitras (“friends of snakes”) volunteers who rescue the creatures while educating locals to quell their fears. Too scared? You can take the tours while sitting in a Jeep.

2.  Hanging Gardens and Kamala Nehru Park

Mumbai’s Hanging Gardens have no historic link to Babylon, but they sure share a similar topography to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: this garden, too, is built on an incline (Malabar Hill). It’s an immaculately manicured area with hedges shaped like animals and even a clock made of colourful flowers.

The Kamala Nehru Park is part of the Hanging Gardens’ complex, but comes with its own unique feature: a gigantic structure depicting an old woman’s shoe, inspired by the nursery rhyme “There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.” This shoe comes with a door, steps, windows and even a little balcony. Kids, or the child that lives inside every adult, can climb right into it. Make your way to the top of the boot to see Malabar Hill from above.

3.  Shivaji Park

Cricket is more than a sport in India—it’s a religion that binds the nation—and this park, dubbed “Mumbai’s cricket school,” is where legends like Gavaskar and baby-faced Tendulkar trained as boys. In the wee hours of a Sunday, find kids dressed in white, slaying it with their bats on the open ground while parents cheer them on. The park also boasts an open-air gym, football fields, walking tracks, areas to practice gymnastics and badminton.

4.  Jogger’s Park

This sea-facing park sits in the upmarket suburb of Bandra. The enviable pin-code is home to more than a handful of Bollywood bigwigs. If you’re looking to go celeb-spotting, it really can be as easy as a walk in this park. In case the stars don’t come out to play, there’s always the stunning view of the sun dipping into the Arabian Sea to keep you thoroughly entertained.

5.  Horniman Circle Garden

Situated within the UNESCO-tagged precinct of Fort, this garden is flanked by Victorian buildings. In the 18th century, this patch of land was the city’s first stock market: it saw traders gather under Banyan trees to sell wares and quench their thirst from the stone-carved water fountain on-premise. Later on, the British enclosed the area and built a garden. Over the years, the water feature fell into disrepair but it was recently restored to its full glory. We suggest you stop by after nightfall to see it light up.

6.  Maharashtra Nature Park

On the edge of the gritty, overcrowded neighbourhood of Dharavi (which houses Asia’s largest slum) lies a notified forest. A former landfill, the 40-odd acres are now dotted with around 14,000 trees, from teak to the golden apple. The flora and fauna render it a paradise for bird watchers. Bring your camera to click the white-spotted fantail, the purple-rumped sunbird or even the blue tiger butterfly. You can also spread out a blanket and picnic in the woods, smack-dab in the heart of the city.

7.  Veer Baji Prabhu Udyan

Although Shivaji Park gets all the attention, this little-known grassy beachfront park, opposite Shivaji, boasts its own charm. It offers uninterrupted views of the beach and access to the sea link that runs between Worli in South Mumbai and the suburb of Bandra. Seen from the garden, the metal bridge held up by cables looks like a harp suspended over water and the vehicles traversing it appear like toy cars. It’s almost surreal to catch this busy urban sight to the tune of crashing waves.

8.  Oval Maidan

Yet another haven for cricket lovers, this ground is named after its egg-like shape. Situated in South Mumbai, this precinct recently earned a UNESCO heritage tag given the stunning colonial structures that dot the area. Walk the grounds and look upwards at the 19th-century Rajabhai clock tower that was modelled after London’s Big Ben, the soaring spires of the Mumbai High Court and the many colourful art deco buildings.

9.  Nanalal D Mehta Garden

What do you do when the dimly-lit space under a fly - over attracts the wrong crowd? The locals in Matunga, a residential area in Mumbai, had a light bulb moment. They crowd-sourced funds, worked with the municipality and converted the dingy space into a gorgeous garden. Today, you can walk amidst grass and tall shoots. Since nature has a way of turning up in unexpected places, even the blue-tiled walkway replicates the flow of the river Narmada.

10.  Five Gardens

The area was the first planned scheme in Mumbai, built under the Bombay City Improvement Trust. A Parsi Zoroastrian engineer, Mancherji Joshi, worked with the trust to convince his community’s elders to make this land exclusively available to Zoroastrians. He was able to successfully lease 103 plots for 999 years and, today, the largest Parsi Zoroastrian enclave in the world sits here. The tree-lined lanes are flanked by fire temples and heritage homes.

11.  Lions Juhu Children’s Municipal Park

Immediately ask about the aeroplane garden: a concrete replica of a Boeing takes centre stage here. For many Mumbai natives, this happens to be the first plane they’ve ever stepped on—complete with staircases and slides. Remember: the aircraft is fueled by imagination, so just picture yourself travelling to Delhi’s amusement park, Appu Ghar.

12.  Priyadarshini Park

In the island city, this is yet another park that overlooks the waters. Credited to the effort of ordinary citizens, this park has grown into a community of sorts. Whether it’s a walking club you’re looking to join or a laughing club (yes, that’s a thing)  where you pretty much start the day by laughing together, you’ll find comrades here.

Feeling the hunger pangs?

The best street food in Mumbai

Mumbai’s food scene—made up of a mix of high-end restaurants, cheap eats, street food and more—is shaped by a fusion of cultures, including an indigenous fishing community and the secrets from the home kitchens of century-old migrants (the Muslim sultans! Jews! Portuguese and British colonialists!).

Top 6 Parks And Gardens In Navi Mumbai

• Share On Twitter

City life can be exciting, but crazy deadlines and work schedules can get to you. Away from all the hustle and bustle, Navi Mumbai has some beautiful gardens that can bring you closer to nature. This planned city is just an hour’s drive away from Mumbai, so it can be a great weekend getaway as well. 

Parks & Recreation

Parks are a great way to spend a day with your children playing badminton or hide and seek. If you just want to slow down the pace at which you are going about your routine, taking a walk in the park can clear your head too. For a leisurely weekend, consider going to these beautiful gardens in Navi Mumbai.

1.Rock Garden 

Rock Garden’s well manicured lawns and large kids play area are full as the sun starts to set. It is a popular spot for the kids in the vicinity to enjoy a few rides and have some outdoor fun in the evening.

As the name suggests, the garden is developed keeping in mind the theme of stones and rocks. It is one of the few well-maintained gardens that you’ll find around Mumbai.

Where: Sector 21, Nerul, Navi Mumbai

2. Mango Garden

Belapur’s Mango Park has a special track dedicated for those who want to go for a long walk. Otherwise too, the park is very spacious and has ample space for joggers and fitness enthusiasts.

To keep all the kids entertained, they have different types of swings and slides. The park is also home to a few ducks who reside in its water ponds. It’s a delight to sit back and watch them swim around!

Where:    C-5/22, Sion – Panvel Expy, Sector 1A, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai

3. Central Park

Sprawling across an area of 119 hectares, Central Park in Kharghar is expected to be one of the largest gardens in Asia once it is fully developed. Currently, it has a botanical garden inside along with jogging tracks, amphitheaters, cricket and football grounds, sports clubs and a separate kids play area.

The park is surrounded by hills and lush greenery, so sunsets at Central Park are really scenic. They’ve also taken care of a major problem that visitors face: parking. Their huge parking facility provides a free parking spot for all visitors.

Where: Sectors 22, 23 & 24, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

4. Rajiv Gandhi Joggers Park

If your idea of a leisurely day involves sitting by a water body, Rajiv Gandhi Joggers’ Park is the place that you should go to. It is located next to Thane creek, so you can sit on the steps in the park and enjoy a beautiful sunset as you look at the skyline that extends till the horizon. You can also take a boat and explore the water of the creek.

It is a popular spot for jogging as well as bird watching. The greenery around attracts colorful birds throughout the year. For children, there are plenty of entertainment options too. They have swings, slides, see-saws as well as a mini train.

Where: H-32, Parmarth Niketan Marg, Sector 10A, Juhu Chowpatty, Navi Mumbai

5. Jewel of Navi Mumbai

The Jewel of Navi Mumbai has an open-air gym, so you can get your morning exercises done without having to lock yourself inside a gym. They also have a special running and jogging track that is approximately 2.6 kilometers long.

You can also see the nearby Nerul Lake from the park. While it provided a beautiful setting for enjoying a great view of the sunset in the past, visitors have now started complaining about the stench from there.

Where:  Sector 26, Nerul, Navi Mumbai

6. Hanging Garden

This garden is often confused with its namesake in Malabar Hill in Mumbai. While the latter is known for its terrace garden, the one in Navi Mumbai is known for its scenic view. Situated at a height on Parshik Hill in CBD Belapur, it offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city.

It is especially beautiful after 6 pm, as you can see the whole city lit up against the fading light. There is also a temple right next to it, which is another popular tourist spot in the area.
