In a traffic-congested, hawker-infested, crowded Mumbai, Shivaji Park in Dadar stands out as a large green public space (27.907 acres) offering the delights of walking. Morning joggers and evening walkers make a pretty picture alongside the 1.17 kilometre circumference of the historic 90-year-old park.
At the core of the Park is the famed ground for cricket and football practice, whereas the periphery is dotted by a sports gymkhana, a children’s corner, a senior citizens’square, two Hindu temples, a scouts pavilion and a gymnasium.
