The Gorai Mangrove Park is almost finished, and by May 1, 2025, Mumbai residents and environment lovers will be able to explore the scenic Gorai Creek from a newly constructed watchtower. The park, which was created by the Maharashtra Forest Department’s Mangroves Foundation, will have a 740-meter boardwalk that winds through dense mangroves, giving visitors a rare chance to get up close and personal with this important coastal habitat.
The park is expected to open on Maharashtra State Formation Day, with more than 90% of the work already finished. The Mangrove Cell-Mumbai’s Divisional Forest Officer, Deepak Khade, stressed that the park’s main objective is to increase public knowledge of mangrove biodiversity and conservation. To inform and involve the public, visitors can anticipate a multi-level Nature Interpretation Centre, a bird observation watchtower, and guided walks. The Nature Interpretation Centre is developing quickly, guaranteeing a dynamic and engaging educational experience.
The park, which spans eight hectares, is a prime example of sustainable development; not a single tree was felled during the construction of the boardwalk. Expert naturalists will lead guests on guided mangrove walks and birdwatching excursions, emphasising the vital role mangroves play in preserving coastlines, promoting biodiversity, and slowing down climate change.
When Gorai Mangrove Park is up and running, it will be a top ecotourism destination that skilfully combines sustainability, education, and conservation. It is positioned to become a popular destination for nature lovers, students, and wildlife enthusiasts alike, providing a calm haven from the bustle of the city while raising awareness of environmental issues.
