Pushpa Narsee Park is a small triangular park, located next to Juhu Joggers’ park and the Bhailal Maidan. Small but interesting park as its probably one of the first cycling parks in Mumbai.

The entrance to the park is not a happening one, first of all its not from the main road so you have to use the secondary road thats behind. If you go in the mornings this road is parked with goods carriers on both sides and you will find its owners doing their morning chores.
There are paved walking tracks and a dedicated cycling track that goes around the periphery. This track is elevated at certain places, so as to not obstruct the walkers below and also not to eat up the lawn space. If you don’t have cycles they are available for you on rent too.

A place sort of like an amphitheatre for gatherings misses people this morning. At one of the corners lie the childrens play area which looks...

There are cycle options available but I would recommend carrying your own bicycle for ride. The cycles are not maintained well and it is no fun riding the hired cycles. It is a small cycle track with an uphill climb for an adventure which actually tests your strength while climbing. Due to nominal entrance fees you will find all types of kids in the park which in a way is good as common people can enjoy cycling. However to it's disadvantage it has spoiled the quality of cycles in the park as few are broken, few don't have proper breaks. Anyway there is still a positive to look at in the park as it burns your calories to a certain extent and cycling lovers will still enjoy cycling irrespective of...
