Here is a list of the Best Parks in Mumbai.
Cross Maidan:
This is one of the oldest gardens of the city, built and named after a cross that was placed here during the rule of the Portuguese. Where the original Cross used to be, now stands a school whose children are avid users of the park. The maidan was originally a part of the Esplanade which was the name given to the congregated areas of the Oval maidan, Azad Maidan, Cooperage ground and the cross maidan. The maidan’s glory has somewhat diminished as large mounds of garbage now adorns the south end of it. The maintenance also lacks a certain something. Yet the historical background is enough to prevent this park from being turned into another housing complex.
Horniman Circle Gardens:
Encompassing an area of 12,081 square yards, this garden is situated in south Mumbai. The park and the area surrounding it was named after Benjamin Horniman, the editor of Bombay Chronicle. The garden itself is beautiful though not well maintained. It is used for hosting a number of famous functions too.
