Kamala Nehru Park- Mumbai
The Kamala Nehru Park sprawling over an area of 3,300 sq m is located at the top of Malabar hills. Inspired by an old nursery rhyme “There was an old woman” the biggest attraction of the park is a large shoe shaped structure. The Kamala Nehru Park is widely visited by school children and the Old Woman’s Shoe is their favorite place for playing.
The view from atop Malabar hill is bound to steal your heart away. At night the city street lights around the Marine Drive looks like a large golden necklace studded with gems. This is also referred as the “Queen’s necklace”.
The Kamala Nehru Park has a collection of wide range of flowers. The lush green lawns and shady trees inside the park make it a favorite picnic spot. The park is largely visited by bourgeois middle class people. Named after the wife of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the Kamala Nehru Park is as important to Mumbai as is the Eiffel tower to Paris.
