Shivaji Park

Talk to anyone in Mumbai about politics and cricket and Shivaji Park will be mentioned at least once. This 27 acres of open ground in the heart of Dadar, a Mumbai suburb, has been the scene of many political rallies since pre-independence days and continues to be so even today. Besides politics, it is also the Mecca of upcoming cricketers; cricket icons like Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar are associated with Shivaji Park. The park also houses a gymkhana, and in case if you are neither interested in politics nor cricket, the park is still a good place to sit and listen to the gossip around or to take a walk under the huge trees that surround the park.
