Coastal Road Promenade — Worli access
The new promenade changes the scale of a Worli walk: the sea is the destination, with a wide route rather than a compact park.

The feel of the place
Why take the kids here?
The new promenade changes the scale of a Worli walk: the sea is the destination, with a wide route rather than a compact park. Enter through a designated pedestrian underpass, note exactly where you emerged, and choose a short out-and-back route before children start walking. Opening coverage describes access near Worli Dairy and other points along the coast; the nearest road pin is not always the correct pedestrian entrance. The exposed setting makes water, sun protection and weather judgement important. Older children may enjoy watching the changing coastline or counting the different kinds of activity along the route. Keep runners, cycles and small children aware of one another. This recommendation covers the existing promenade, not proposed future gardens or entertainment facilities.
- Use designated pedestrian underpasses; never approach via the vehicle carriageway.
- Opening reports describe an initial approximately 5.25-km section, not a required family walking distance.
- Future coastal parks and petting-zoo proposals are not included as operating facilities.
Which ages it suits
All ages for a short supervised walk; older children may enjoy a longer route.
Why it made the neighbourhood shortlist
How we chose it
It is a substantial new public outdoor experience supported by opening coverage and later visitor use. A short family walk provides a distinct alternative to the old Sea Face, while clear access guidance avoids turning a pleasant outing into a long search for an entrance.
Pair it with
Pair a short coastal walk with one science-centre session; plan a taxi to the correct pedestrian entrance rather than assuming a direct route.
