Nirvana Park: A Sustainable Sanctuary in the Heart of Powai

Gardens have always been cherished as sanctuaries of natural beauty and tranquility, offering a refreshing escape from the chaos of urban life. In the Hiranandani Garden series, we invite you to discover the lush, sustainable landscapes that define the green spaces across Hiranandani townships. This series begins with Nirvana Park (now Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Udyan) at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai—a celebrated park designed to promote wellness and serenity, nestled amidst the stunning Hiranandani Greens.

Nirvana Park: Where Green Meets Sustainable

Located in Powai, Nirvana Park spans over four acres and is inspired by Japanese landscape design. It seamlessly combines traditional aesthetics with modern sustainable practices. What was once a small, waterlogged recreational area has now evolved into a celebrated green haven, offering residents a peaceful retreat. Since its inauguration in 1996, Nirvana Park has become a symbol of Hiranandani Communities' vision of creating environmentally-conscious living spaces, balancing ecological needs with urban lifestyles, and supporting Hiranandani Sustainability.

What Makes Nirvana Park Special

• Flora and Fauna: Nirvana Park hosts a thoughtfully curated collection of trees, including Mango, Ficus, and Acacia, providing shelter and nourishment to various bird species, such as the Oriental Magpie Robin and Purple-rumped Sunbird. These species contribute to the park's rich biodiversity, adding to its charm.
• Foot Reflexology Paths: The park features stone reflexology paths that offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience an ancient wellness practice. As visitors walk along the paths, they enjoy both physical relaxation and a deeper connection with nature.
• Aquatic Pond and Bridges: A central pond, surrounded by graceful bridges, enhances the park's tranquil atmosphere. The pond not only provides aesthetic appeal but also supports various fish species that purify the water. Additionally, it captures rainwater to reduce runoff and regulate the park's microclimate, cooling the surroundings and adding to the calming ambiance of Hiranandani Horticulture.

Environmental and Social Impact

Nirvana Park goes beyond being just a beautiful green space; it is a shining example of Hiranandani Sustainability. With an onsite sewage and water treatment plant that recycles millions of liters daily, the park reduces its reliance on municipal water systems and fosters a healthier ecosystem. The park has become a hub for local residents who enjoy activities like morning yoga, family picnics, and more, fostering a strong sense of community. It serves as a natural gathering spot, embodying Hiranandani Greens by blending wellness with ecological benefits.
