Love Your Parks Mumbai (LYPMumbai) was born out of two mothers' collective desire to advocate for better public spaces for all Mumbaikars through community engagement, programming, and stewardship.

​

In November 2018 they came up with a creative solution to initiate public dialogue advocating for change. A community choir called LYPMumbai Chorus was founded and rehearsed for six weeks culminating in two free public concerts at Patwardhan and Joggers' Parks in Bandra.
​

Since then, LYPMumbai has been advocating for Mumbai's Public Open Spaces through social media and more than 250 free on-ground events in collaboration with local entrepreneurs and like-minded organisations.

​

Tina re-located in 2022 and Anca is still very much in Mumbai.

​

LYPMumbai believes that citizen involvement in the creation, activation and maintenance of Public Open Spaces is the backbone of a healthy society and democracy. Our vision is that one day every Mumbaikar will have access to abundant, welcoming, and user-friendly public open spaces.

LYPMumbai regularly collaborates with the MCGM and like-minded organisations and campaigns such as #BombayGreenway, #MahimBeachCleanUp, #SaveAarey and #SaveOurCoastMumbai.

Join us in building LYPMumbai from the ground as we work towards our vision of great #publicspacesforall in Mumbai!
