About Hanging Gardens & Kamala Nehru Park
Laid out in 1881 over the city's water reservoir, the Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens are known for their topiary animals and the sunset view across Back Bay to Marine Drive. Kamala Nehru Park across the road has the famous 'Old Woman's Shoe' and an even better viewing terrace. Both are quiet, old-fashioned parks, a relief from the streets below.
