Colaba Woods, Mumbai
 
 
An example of what ordinary citizens can do for their city, the story of Colaba Woods began in the early 80’s when the Tata Electric Companies took over an 8 acre plot of land from the BMC at a nominal lease.
The plot originally was a refuse dump and had some hutments and two PWD quarters in it. Today, this green forest in the concrete jungle at Cuffe Parade is the lung of the locality. A part form the greenery, it has several other facilities such as the jogger’s track, an amphitheatre, a reader’s corner, basketball courts, childrens’ play corner and larger areas for relaxation. The amphitheatre is used as a venue to address issues of social importance such as drug addiction and rehabilitation etc. As well as plays and shows, the readers’ corner provides facilities for street children to study.
