Mumbai’s iconic Kamala Nehru Park reopens
The iconic Kamala Nehru Park in Malabar Hill has finally reopened to the public after a nursery rhyme-themed makeover, which went on for almost a year. The park was especially popular among children because of its unique installation, the Old Woman’s Shoe, which had been closed for almost five years. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has now renovated the huge shoe, and the adjoining Pherozeshah Mehta Garden, better known as Hanging Gardens. Both parks are now themed on English nursery rhymes.
