Mumbai Gardens: Joggers’ haven Tata Gardens is now the focal point of mega Coastal Road project

Running parallel to Mumbai’s eastern coast is Tata Gardens, a popular jogging park for residents of the upmarket Breach Candy district. Spanning a little over an acre, it is hardly one of Mumbai’s biggest parks, but given that a jogging track occupies most of its rectangular perimeter, it is an ideal spot for locals to get their daily cardio, protected somewhat from the heat by the gentle ocean breeze.

Tata Gardens is also a focal point of the Coastal Road project. A 10.5 km portion of the coastal road, from Princess Street Flyover to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli sea link, will pass through the gardens, along with Priyadarshini Park and Haji Ali.
