The Royal Western India Turf Club’s (RWITC) “good gesture” of handing over the 120-acre land parcel of Mahalaxmi Racecourse to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), for constructing a park along the lines of London’s Hyde Park and New York’s Central Park, has been rewarded by the ruling Mahayuti
Connaught Place's Central Park and nearby dargah offer serene outdoor spaces with distinct characters. The dargah honors Shah Abdul Salam Faridi Fakhri Chishti.
The intention is to add more green to a city infamous for its dearth of open spaces and create amenities for citizens, including cycling and jogging tracks
The remaining 120 acres of the racecourse and an additional 180 acres from the coastal road will be handed over to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation
