Mumbai's first dedicated mangrove park, the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Mangrove Park, is set to open on May 28, 2023, after significant delays. Originally announced in 2021, the park was expected to launch in 2023, but the opening was postponed multiple times due to the unavailability of dignitaries. The park is located in Gorai, Borivali, and will be inaugurated at 10:30 AM by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Piyush Goyal, along with other prominent political figures such as state forest minister Ganesh Naik and Mumbai suburban guardian minister Ashish Shelar. Although work on the park was completed last year, the launch was delayed until all arrangements were finalized. Borivali legislator Sanjay Upadhyay conducted an inspection of the park and directed officials to complete any remaining work before the inauguration. Further details regarding public access to the park will be announced after the opening ceremony, ensuring that the community can enjoy this new green space.
