Also known as Pherozeshah Mehta gardens, the Hanging gardens
were built in 1880 and renovated in 1921. These gardens are popularly
known as Hanging gardens, because of their location on the slope of a
hill.
This terrace garden looks south from Malabar Hill towards Colaba, and
affords a panoramic view of the city or a breathtaking sunset. It is built
over three reservoirs, which store 30 million gallons of water pumped here
for cleaning before being supplied to the town.
The garden is well maintained. In the morning the garden is the haunt of
joggers and fitness freaks and in the evenings it is frequented by young
couples.
The way up to the gardens from Marine
Drive is by walkeshwar road and ridge road. On the western side of
the Hanging gardens is the Kamala Nehru park.
