About Anjanapura Central Park

TS Chanakya in Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, is a serene green pocket nestled between urban development, mangroves, and tidal wetlands, offering a refreshing natural escape for residents and nature enthusiasts. Once known for the maritime training institute located here, the area has gradually transformed into a favored birding and walking spot thanks to its mix of freshwater pools, grassy patches, and scattered trees. The sight of sunrise over the wetlands, with distant mangrove silhouettes and gentle ripples on the water, lends the place a peaceful charm that contrasts beautifully with the bustling city around it.

Today, TS Chanakya stands as a cherished recreational and ecological space where walkers, joggers, and birdwatchers cross paths with fishermen and locals enjoying quiet moments. The tidal influence from the creek and the mix of wetland habitats draw a variety of wildlife, particularly during the migratory season when the site comes alive with the calls and movements of visiting birds. Efforts by local naturalists and birding groups have helped highlight the ecological significance of the area, encouraging appreciation and awareness for conserving this rare green-lung space amid rapid urban growth.
