★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cross Maidan (formerly Parade Ground ) is a vast expanse of land in Mumbai. The term maidan means "playing ground" in Marathi. The ground measures 23,000 m².The name "Cross" is derived for the old stone Cross (crucifix) built when the city was under Portuguese rule in the 16th century. The maidan is under the jurisdiction of the district collector. In 2009 it was announced that a 30-foot tall steel sculpture inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's charkha would be installed at the maidan.In the same year, the government also announced that it would be laying a water tunnel from the Malabar Hill reservoir to Cross Maidan at the cost of Rs. 940 million.It is claimed that the South Mumbai locality will have adequate water supply once this water tunnel is completed.The vast expanses of land of the Oval Maidan, Azad Maidan, Cooperage Ground and Cross Maidan until the early 20th century formed the area known as Esplanade.[6] The road which divides Cross Maidan and Azad Maidan which is today called Mahatma Gandhi Road was formerly known as the Esplanade. The term Esplanade is almost obliterated from history books except for the Bombay High Court which still goes by the term esplanade court. The part of MG Road abutting the Cross Maidan is popularly known as Fashion Street, with a range of vogue clothing at throwaway prices.The rest of the ground is used for cricket in the dry season and football (soccer) during the monsoons. Near the southern end, the Mahindra United Club, a national level club, has undertaken a lease of a small portion of the ground. In the past, traveling circuses have used the ground.[7] The ground hosts eight cricket pitches.[8] In 1986, Reliance Industries Limited held their AGM at the ground with 30,000 company shareholders in attendance.[9] During the pre-independence era, the ground used to hold rallies and parades.Cutting across the centre of the ground is a shortcut that links the two railway stations of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Churchgate. The lane known as "Khau Galli" meaning Food Lane in Marathi, is traversed by thousands of people rushing to their work places. At times exhibitions and fairs are held in the maidan.Due to encroachment by Fashion Street hawkers and also mounds of garbage dumped in the southern end of the maidan, it has deteriorated to such an extent that a special committee has been set up to look after the ground, fence it off and clear the garbage and attain a heritage status...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool place to sit and relax. The place is very calm. The streets are well maintained with trees and plants. The buildings near by the street are very nice. The fashion street is also nearby. One can get nice clothes with reasonable budget. The garden is good and wide. Awesome place to relax. Several yummy street foods for foodies. Only taxis are available here and you can't find any autos. This makes the place peaceful. I really liked this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In February 2020 there was art festival in this garden
Here people from all over India come and show their specialty and skill. During this period this place is decorated like anything.
There would be stall from you can buy innovative stuff, there will be Arts which will give you some message in some of the other way. There will be ways shown to make you reuse, reduce and recycle things.
The only bad part is during the last day and specially on weekends, this place becomes so crowded that you don't get a chance to enjoy it fully.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A huge ground dedicated for cricket practise evident from a number of pitches created here. The ground is always buzzing with cricket enthusiasts of all the age categories. It's a fun activity to spend an hour or so watching good cricket here. You also get a lot of eating options as khau galli is just behind towards west. Just take care for a call of "watchout", you might be getting hit with a ball ;)
