A beautiful retreat and green lung in the heart of the City. A pleasant surprise. Peaceful and calm. A hidden gem. Good species of trees, flowers, butterflies...

It has a very beautiful, calming, and relaxing environment. There are Various Species of Plants and Butterflies. Has a very calming flora and fauna. It has a walk trail throughout the park surrounded by Trees.

Opp Dharavi Bus depot. The access is lined with garbage trucks and gives no clue to the beauty inside. Bear with the access and inside you will see a green Haven, heaven. You can buy plants from nursery. Park timings are 8.30 AM to 3.30 PM & entry fee @Rs20/ per person.

The park's efforts in promoting environmental awareness and sustainability are commendable.
One potential downside is that due to its popularity, the park can get crowded during peak hours and weekends, which might reduce the overall tranquility of the experienceMaharashtra Nature Park offers a refreshing and educational escape within the city, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking a brief retreat from the urban chaos

Just looking like A "जंगल", ya it was just like that no man made infrastructure just a Real nature and that's it!
So ya Don't expect some Excitement things to do there.
In 20₹ it really really worth it and even you can buy small small various kind of plants in nursery in ₹20-40.

Beautifull place to carry out birding and spotting butterflies and many other insects

Amazing to find such a peaceful and beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. 100Rs entrance for foreigners, 20Rs for Indians. You can easily spend a couple of hours following the nature trail through the woods. The river is sadly polluted, but I still saw a crocodile slip into the waters. I don't know much about birds, but even I managed to spot a white-tailed paradise flycatcher, golden oriole and greater coucal. What a lovely place - very much worth a visit for some peace.

Pleasantly surprised by the variety of wildlife we saw when we went out around 9 am in early November: cobra, parrots, egrets, iguanas and every size and color of butterflies. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a green fix in the area. Might take an hour to walk all the paths. They also have a nice presentation of plants and trees.

Can’t believe a place like this exists in the middle of Mumbai , extremely beautiful and serene , wide range of flora and fauna ,Great place for nature lovers.they have a beautiful plant nursery as well.

Wonderful place, it’s great to see what the government can do when they put their mind to it. A dumping ground transformed into a beautiful park.
The nature interpreters are really knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the office staff are polite, helpful, supportive, enthusiastic and really interested in popularising the place, they have a corporate mentality and attitude, not at all what one would expect government officials to be.
A great place to go to for some excellent birding, immersing oneself in nature and generally having a great time.
