Bird Walk at Green Valley Park, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra

About Green Valley Park

Green Valley Park, Navi Mumbai is a compact yet vibrant green pocket tucked within an increasingly urban landscape, offering a refreshing glimpse of nature amid the city’s bustle. The park features a mix of wooded patches, scrub, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem, banyan, peepal, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls, prinias, sunbirds and tailorbirds, while drongos, bee-eaters, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.

However, like many urban green spaces, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion, littering, noise, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees, maintaining undisturbed zones, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai.
