Specialty : One of the well maintained garden in Mumbai

Opens spaces are the breathing lungs of congested cities, someone wisely said. Green spaces are soon going to join the extinct ranks of dinosaurs, no matter how much the environmentalists cry themselves hoarse.

In such a scenario, it is very heartening to see a significantly big piece of land in Mulund dedicated to a traditionally landscaped garden with a lot of planned greenery and children’s play area. The name of the garden is Deshmukh Udyan. It’s five minutes walk from Mulund East station on Mahatma Phule Road. Open for 4-5 hours in the morning and evenings, the garden is popular among people living in and around Mulund. While it can get extremely crowded on weekends, it lends itself to a serene walk on the tracks during early mornings. During non monsoon season, one can also enjoy a horse ride which is a luxury this side of the city. The garden used to have a lot of musical fountains but poor maintenance and water shortage seem to have resulted in discontinuing this practice. All in all, a great place to lock yourself up and be away from the mad rush.
