The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has adopted an 8.5 acres plot of land at Lower Parel, near Bombay Dyeing Mills Compound, to transform the area into a garden, complete with infrastructural facilities. Work on the garden, which is expected to cost a whopping Rs 4 crore, has already begun and is expected to get completed in a year. Entry will be free for all.

The garden will accommodate a bonsai garden spanning 11,520.53 sq mt, a yoga lawn, a gymnasium, an amphitheatre and a basketball spanning 1017.87 sq mt. Sanitation and other maintenance-related issues will be the responsibility of the BMC.
