Jehangir Kothari Parade

Jehangir Kothari Parade

Jehangir Kothari Parade is a promenade built on land donated by Seth Jehangir Hormusji Kothari to the city of Karachi in 1919.

It is situated on a hilltop on the Arabian Sea, in the Clifton Beach area of Karachi. Jehangir Kothari was built in 1919 and opened to Karachi public in 1920. There are two structures in the complex: the Promenade Pavilion and Lady Lloyd Pier (an elevated sandstone public walkway) which is named after Lady Lloyd, wife of then Governor of Bombay Sir George Lloyd.
Both the promenade pavilion and the Lady Lloyd Pier overlook the Arabian Sea. After extensive renovations in 2007, the park re-opened as Karachi’s largest park, Bagh Ibne Qasim.
