Mumbai’s First Mangrove Park to Open Soon
A new park in Gorai, Mumbai, is almost ready!
It's the first park in India made just for mangroves, the special trees that live in the water.
You can walk on a long wooden path, look out from a high tower, and learn about these trees.
There's also a place to eat and buy gifts.
The park is set to open in the next month, and you may need to pay a small fee to go in.
The money will help keep the park in good shape.
India's first mangrove park is nearing completion in Gorai, Mumbai.
The park, developed by the Mangrove Cell, features a boardwalk and a watchtower.
An entry fee is proposed, with revenue to fund park maintenance.
The park includes a Nature Interpretation Centre and a rooftop restaurant.
The park is expected to open to the public by mid-August.
