The park was developed on reclaimed marshland, formerly part of the T.S. Chanakya wetland area.
The central lake serves as a natural rainwater harvesting and retention pond for the surrounding Sector 26 area.
The running track is surfaced with specialized paving designed to reduce impact on joints for long-distance runners.
The park perimeter is exactly 2.4 kilometers long, making it a popular circuit for amateur marathon training.
The site hosts several species of migratory birds during the winter season due to the proximity of the neighboring TS Chanakya wetlands.
Jewel of Navi Mumbai is a reclaimed waterfront park spanning approximately 19 acres in the Nerul node. It features a 2.4-kilometer paved jogging and cycling track that encircles a central lake. The park is integrated with diverse landscaping, including palm tree-lined walkways and dedicated botanical zones. It serves as a significant lung for the local urban environment by maintaining a large body of water that supports local bird populations. Visitors utilize the perimeter for fitness activities, particularly during morning and evening hours. The grounds are designed with designated rest benches positioned to face the waterfront. The site is a product of the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) urban planning initiative. It acts as an open-air community space rather than a highly manicured botanical garden.

Bring insect repellent, as the proximity to the lake and wetlands increases mosquito activity during dusk.
Wear moisture-wicking activewear, as the humidity levels are consistently high in this coastal region.
Utilize the designated parking zones at the entrance to avoid congestion on the main arterial road.
Do not attempt to feed birds or stray animals; avoid wandering into the unlit, non-paved peripheral mudflats after dark.
Maintain noise discipline near the lake to avoid disturbing birdlife; do not discard plastic waste in the water.
