Mumbai To Get First-Ever Mangrove Park Covering An Area Of 8 Hectares

Hey Mumbaikars, we love our city’s skyline but are equally in love with our parks and nature. The city has enough garden parks we can visit for a morning routine or after a long and tiring week of work. However, to add more liveliness within the city premises, the Maharashtra Government has finally commenced work for the first-ever Mangrove Park that will cover eight hectares extensively.

The Mangrove Park In Gorai Will Open In 2023

Aditya Thackeray announced the commencement of its work in Gorai and termed that this park will boost Maharashtra’s conservation efforts and transform the eco-tourism industry. Thackeray further informed that Dahisar too shall have a similar replica of the Mangrove Park in Mumbai.
