The Hanging Gardens have been around since I was a kid. Not much has changed since and it is still probably the best public garden to take your kids to in terms of maintenance and openness.You can still go up the Old Woman’s Shoe and stand in its balcony to look at the beautiful greenery.  If you are into parks then it is a good place to visit in addition to Jogger’s Park in Bandra and Patwardhan Park in town. You can get a pretty good view of the Queen’s Necklace as well as new high-rises in Malabar Hill and Worli.
