Dindoshi residents love the Sheila Raheja garden in their area; in fact, they love it so much that they are gradually suffocating it to death. This huge park spread over seven acres fares much than the others when it comes to maintenance, but because of its size and the facilities provided, it seems as if the entire Goregaon flocks here on any given day, not only leading to overcrowding, but also giving the perfect cover to miscreants, who slip through and wreak havoc inside. Several regular visitors have complained of vandalism, breaking out of arguments during busy hours and, at times, even eve-teasing.

Choc-a-bloc
The garden boasts of a 600-metre jogging track, made of paver blocks, besides designated sections for different activities — three play areas for children, large swathes of lawn, a couple of areas for exercise, a shed where youngsters practise dance, a small amphitheatre, a maze and a pond.
