Kamala Nehru Park, Mumbai

Perched on Malabar Hill is the green getaway within the city of Mumbai, the Kamala Nehru Park. Spread over just 4000 square meters, the Park is a common picnic destination for school kids and families. Reachable by all means of public transport, the Kamala Nehru Park is a well maintained park for a quiet day with family and friends.

In contrast to modern day parks, the Kamala Nehru Park has little to offer in terms of amusement rides. Instead, it offers a place away from hustle bustle of the city and the open spaces and green lawns that encourage one to play some long lost picnic games. The Park has a shoe shaped structure, believed to have been inspired by a nursery rhyme, which always manages to fascinate the younger visitors. For the older ones, the location of the Park offers a panoramic view of the city.

One can see the tall rise buildings, the rushing waters at the Chowpatty shore and lighting up of the Marine Drive necklace of lights when the sun sets. Open from 5 in the morning, the Park is a favorite with the city dwellers who like to take time away from the malls and multiplexes sprawling around the city. All in all, the Kamala Nehru Park is a perfect hangout for families.
