Jogger's Park, Seaside jogging park in Bandra, Mumbai, India
Jogger's Park is a seaside park at the southern end of Carter Road in Bandra, Mumbai, with a 400-metre jogging track made up of a mud strip for running and two paved tracks for walking or jogging. It opened to the public on 27 May 1990 and draws more than 2,000 visitors on weekdays, double that on Sundays.
The site was once a waste area before being converted into a public training space in the 1990s. This transformation happened through collaboration between local activists, supporters, and the community working together.
The park's name honours Oliver Andrade, a hockey coach known as "Sir" for his work at St. Theresa's Boys High School, St. Stanislaus High School and Sacred Heart Boys High School. A stone plaque at the entrance reads "From Sir with Love". Mumbai's first laughter club was started here.
The park is most active early in the morning and most accessible during these hours when many visitors are out. The flat terrain makes it easy to navigate, and there are simple entry points from nearby Carter Road.
This location hosted Mumbai's first laughter group, a movement where people gathered to promote well-being through shared laughter together. This tradition shows how the place contributes to emotional health beyond just physical training.
