Cantonment Maidan, Public park in Old Quilon, India
The Cantonment Maidan spans across eastern Kollam, featuring green spaces and recreational areas for local residents and visitors throughout the year.
In 1809, the Battle of Quilon occurred at this location, where British forces led by Colonel Chalmers defeated the local militia under Velu Thampi Dalawa.
The park holds numerous community gatherings, including the Vanitha Fest, Mango Fest, Bible Convention, sports tournaments, and political assemblies throughout the calendar.
Located at coordinates 8°52'59"N, 76°36'6"E, the park remains open daily and operates under the management of Kollam Municipal Corporation.
Five historical cannons from military confrontations were displayed in this park, earning it the local name Peeringee Maidan before their transfer to Police Museum.
