“Amidst Mumbai’s suburbs, Nirvana Park at Powai posh Hiranandani Gardens township should not be missed, as it is one of the only such parks in a western suburban location. The feeling inside the park is, as it is named, ‘Nirvana’, a blissful feeling between lush greenery and shades of trees, varieties of flora, a big pond with White, orange, and Black fish in groups, a green grass lawn, and a perfect place for kids.
Let’s get more details about the Park timings, Entry Charges, Exact Location Address in Hiranandani, and Contact number of the garden authorities…”
Important Note 2023 :
(Before) If you are a first-timer to this garden, please note that people and auto drivers do not know this garden by its name, ‘Nirvana’. Many call it the BMC Garden of Powai as it is maintained by the Municipal Corporation, and the Entry Gate does not have the name ‘Nirvana Park’ on it. Instead, it has just written ‘Maintained by the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai’.
(NOW): The main entry gate boards display in Marathi “Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Udyan” and on a side lollipop display it says “Maintained by MCGM”.

Living up to the Living up to the name “Nirvana,” which means a transcendent mind state with blissful feelings where a person feels extreme peace and a calmed soul, and as in Buddhism, Release from all Karma and Cycles of Births, It is one of the best gardens and parks on Mumbai.
Actually, a blessing inside Hiranandani Powai, known for its classy residency with beautiful skylines and one of the best lifestyles, Talking about Nirvana Park attractions, The 4 acres of nature’s beauty are an artificially developed garden near Central Avenue, which now has tall trees that give ample shade to the whole park premise.
Flora and Greenery
Where nature exists, blessings and footfalls persist. The biggest attraction and the reason many locals and tourists get attracted to this park is the pleasant feeling due to the greenery and water bodies. From tall trees to small plants and shrubs, everything is perfectly placed inside Nirvana.
The entry gates are made up of wood, and the bamboo feel around them gives a perfect welcome to this small green zone of Mumbai, surrounded by the cityscapes of Hiranandani Powai. Re-Energize yourself just by sitting calm for a few minutes. This will relieve all stress and anxiety you feel inside.
Green grass lawns, Greenery aside walkways, Pond area, Wooden and Bamboo Pavilions, Machan for aerial view, and those tiny flowers all around are why Nirvana attracts others. Why will it not be an ideal location for lovers too? Many couples are seen inside the park spending quality time with the groups of families and friends around. Additionally, the Iconic Digital India Lion reminds you of the world outside this relaxing park.
Seating and Walkway
The walkway is clean, with seating available all around. From big benches to stone seating inside, in the green lawn area, and also around the water pond, Seating arrangements are perfect for all. I particularly liked the stone seating, which looks natural and blends perfectly with the park ambience.
The two-seater rocks are perfect for two friends or couples, and those big rocky seats are ideal for a group to chit-chat and have fun. A perfect day spent in Hiranandani by outsiders and a blessing for township residents for daily walking, jogging, and Yoga activities
Beautiful Pond with Fishes
This artificial pond in Powai is neat and clean, with beautiful wooden pavilions around to relax and enjoy the view during the summer heat and monsoon rains. Pavilions do have a few benches placed inside to sit and relax. This pond has hundreds of fish seen in bunches, Although feeding those fish is not allowed, which is one of the reasons outside food is banned. Those Orange, white, and black-colored big fish make the pond lively.
I also loved the way stones are set inside the pond—a few small black stones with little shrubs around and a few a little larger with an artificial waterfall and plants. The pond is clean enough, surrounded by greenery, and has seating arrangements.
The best is the elevated machan right near the pond area for a beautiful full view of Nirvana Park, as seen in the photos on this page.
Garden Children Play Area
One of the important concerns when taking kids to any garden like ‘Nirvana Park’ is the safety and hygiene conditions of the garden. Kids play their hearts out when they find an open space to run and green grass to stumble and roll around on. One can be sure of hygiene factors; as said, no outside food is allowed. The green lawn has enough grass for your kids to tumble around, run, and have fun. The special play area for children’s rides inside the park is the perfect place for fun and physical exercise (See picture).
ALERT!!! A word of caution: take care of toddlers and kids while around pond areas, as ponds don’t have safe fences and boundaries, and a mistake here can be dangerous.
