Bang in the middle of Matunga is the circular Maheshwari Udayan or the King’s Circle Garden. Once we entered the garden, we noticed how trees and plants were in abundance, easy to forget it’s in the middle of a busy area. There’s a water fountain directly under the flyover, but hardly ever works. Apart from this, we found it relaxing and calming. Street vendors selling ice cream, and light snacks will often make their way into the garden, a delight for the kids and the older people alike.
What’s the Routine: Jog, do a brisk walk, or even workout in this green spot, like we did. It has swings for the kids as well.
Need to Know: Heads up, the park often gets overcrowded during the evenings, owing to it being the only green spot in that area, but mornings are pleasant and less crowded.
Timings: Open all days, 8am to 9.30pm
Price: Entry is free for all
