★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A big play ground in the centre of Mumbai city. The park is not a park actually but very famous due to the historical significance this ground holds in Mumbai. Many a political meetings and events have taken place at this place. The playground was marked and named after shivaji the greatest son of maharshtra in 1935. A gracious horse bourne statue is also erected there. The ground is home to a host of cricket clubs which have produced big names of cricket like sandeep patil, Sachin and vinod. The erstwhile mayor residence stood nearby. Also scout pavilion , samrtha vyaayam mandir, Shivaji park gymkhana, kabaddi association and juvenile club are the prestigious institutions inside the park . A ganesh temple and a kali temple also are there . Earlier you could relish chaat inside the park but now that’s not available . You must taste the Bhaji Paav of Shivaji park though. A new toilet block is erected conveniencing the many visitors to the park.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shivaji Park, officially named the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park, is a public park situated in Dadar, Mumbai. It is the largest park in the island city. Similar to the Azad Maidan and August Kranti Maidan (formerly Gowalia Tank Grounds), it is of historical and cultural value because of the political and social gatherings it has witnessed, both in pre- and post-independence Mumbai. The 113,000 square metres (28 acres) of open space is renowned as having been a cradle of the game of cricket in India. The park has a variety of sports facilities including cricket nets, tennis courts, a Mallakhamba area and a football pitch amongst others.The park was established in 1925 by the Bombay Municipal Corporation, during British Rule. It was known as the Mahim Park until 1927, when it was renamed after the 17th century king of the region, Shivaji, at the behest of a municipal councilor, Avantika Gohkale.[7] The Shivaji Park Gymkhana, then known as the Dadar Hindu Gymkhana, opened its first Tennis court on the grounds in 1927 and inaugurated its pavilion in November 1931.[8]
Besides being a venue for gatherings of freedom fighters in British India, after independence in 1947, Shivaji Park was the focal point of the Samyukta Maharashtra Chalval (the struggle for a consolidated Maharashtra) that led to the present Indian state of Maharashtra being formed in 1960. During this period, the legendary writer, journalist, playwright, poet and social leader Acharya Prahlad Keshav Atre led this movement, addressing crowds of hundreds of thousands at this ground, earning him the title of the 'Lord of Shivaji Park'.
The statue of Shivaji, found on the western side of the park is one of the very few statues in which he is depicted without having drawn out his sword. Instead, Shivaji is shown simply leading the way with his arm outstretched. Sculpted in 1966 using donations from the local population, the statue is a rare example of the pacifist policies of the then state government of Maharashtra. It was considered a sensitive issue by the government to let this statue not depict the usual confrontational posture of Shivaji, who had fought many battles against the Mughal Empire.[citation needed]
