Beautiful green
spaces in Bandra
Greener
spaces are an integral part of urban life that defines the layout of the
community. As we have started living in increasingly built up environments, the
need for parks is as important in the 21st century as it was in the 19th.
They are the
community’s natural life support systems and a well maintained park in an area
can increase the real estate value manifold.
If you are looking
for safe play spaces for your kids and to escape from the clamour of the city
but don’t have to travel far, the green spaces are for you.
Here are five of
our favourite places to sit back and relax: the green gems tucked away in the
corners of Bandra.
5. Prof Almeida Park
5th
Rd, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050
What’s
it like? This little
oasis of calm in the hub of Bandra is well worth a visit for the open grassy
areas and the winding paths perfect for a charming walk.
Frankly it’s so
lovely if you look at the pretty, petit park strewn with picnickers, families
and the rest. Carefully maintained and lovingly cared for, this park is popular
with kids and adults alike. Sit down in the pleasant shaded areas overlooking
the children’s play area which is conveniently located amidst the busy walking
zones.
Best
for: Neatly maintained
Walks, safe play zone with slides, swings and other play equipment, sand pit
Transport:
Public access is very easy by bus, car or foot.
Did
you know? The park has
been named after Prof. Raphael Almeida – ex-Mayor; Municipal Councillor,
Senator, Hon. Magistrate and a renowned botanist who dedicated his life for the
betterment of Bandra and its youth.
People’s appreciation of parks is enriched through
effective interpretation of parks and their resources. Things have changed over
the decades, but going to a park with the family and friends or even alone is
timeless.
