The Joseph Baptista Gardens, locally known as the Mazagaon Gardens, is a 1.5-acre (0.6 ha) park in Mazagaon, South Mumbai, India.[1] It lies atop Bhandarwada hill, behind the Dockyard Road railway station, at an altitude of 32 metres (105 ft) and offers a panoramic view of the Mumbai harbour and the southern business district of the city.

It was originally named after John Hay Grant, the Municipal Commissioner of Bombay (1877–1881), who built the public garden spread over 1.5 acres (0.6 ha) above a water reservoir between 1880–1884. Shortly after India's independence in 1947, the gardens were renamed after Joseph Baptista, an Indian freedom activist from Mazagaon.
