Shivaji Park, Public park in Dadar, India.

Shivaji Park is a flat open maidan of reddish-brown earth in Dadar, Mumbai, covering 113,000 square metres (28 acres). Its surface is divided into rectangular plots outlined by low soil ridges, some bare and others with low grass or scrub. A low continuous kerb called a katta edges the ground, and tall light poles rise from the surface. The inner circumference is 1.17 kilometres.

The Bombay Municipal Corporation created this space in 1925 as Mahim Park to provide green space for the growing neighborhood population. Two years later, in 1927, it was renamed Shivaji Park in honor of the 17th-century Maratha king.

The low kerb edging the ground, called the katta, serves as a makeshift seat where young people chat and older visitors rest after morning or evening walks. The park is also known as Shivtirth to Shiv Sena and MNS supporters, and Bal Thackeray was cremated here. The east pedestrian entrance holds a bust of Meenatai Thackeray, which replaced an earlier bust of writer Ram Ganesh Gadkari.

The grounds are quietest early in the morning and late afternoon, when joggers and walkers use the paths, while the sports areas get busy during the day. Access is possible from all sides, and the main paths are wide enough for wheelchairs and strollers.

Sachin Tendulkar trained here as a young player and often returned to practice on the same nets where he started his career. The local community library inside the park remains a popular spot for Dadar residents who come to read and study.
