A well-known park in Juhu, the Pushpa Narsee Park, was refurbished recently. There was a formal inauguration of the space, with the community all smiles at getting access to the green area.

There were plans to convert this place into an underground car park, after which a garden was supposed to be built atop the park. Those plans faced opposition from citizens, architects, activists and environmentalists. The MLA eventually saw wisdom in letting the park just exist as an open space, scotched the underground parking plan, even removing an entry fee so that it is totally free for the public.
