Welcome back to Know Your Mumbai series.
I hope you liked my last blog about Siddhivinayak Temple, if you haven't read it yet, click here.
We will be now travelling to a place not so far from Mumbai known as Cypress Hill Park in Mulund.
We all Like to spend a refreshful morning walk and a beautiful evening walk in quaint garden.
Don't we?
Well then, Cypress Hill Park should be your next stop.
Heard it before?
Well that's good. If not, never mind, let's get started.
Cypress Hill Park
Cypress Hill park or garden is a one stop for all your refreshing activities you desire for. It is not only a garden or park but it also has a hilly side which is why it is also called as Yogi Hills for explorers.
It has an open space where you can spend your quality time in playing outdoor games like badminton, volleyball or throwball. You can even plan picnics and catch up with your fellas for nice evening chit-chat.
Best Time To Visit
In my opinion the best time to be at Cypress garden is during morning time as the fresh air around rejuvenates your mind and gives you enough energy to start your day.
You can also visit the park around evening time to witness the beautiful sunset; the skyline of Mulund looks divine as the sun sets.
