A ground with historic story behind. Children come to play. They do play cricket also. It is also known as Gowalia Tank. Just outside is the BEST bus depot. A huge ground in the vicinity of the busy city - Mumbai. It is near from Grant Road Railway Station. A walkable distance. Just outside August Kranti Maiden is a statue of the great Parsee Gentleman. The great man who has worked for the society, who has given ample back to the Societ. The great Nuserwanji Maneckji Petit. You cannot have such personalities now. Yes! That goes without saying that Mumbai is becoming beautiful. Government and BMC is doing a god job to beautify Mumbai If they have taken so many steps forward, it is our duty to maintain it and preserve our Heritage. Keep Mumbai clean and let it be a tourist attraction. Who will benefit - we all Mumbaikars. Don't we want our city to be clean and beautiful? The Walls are being painted with various pictures, let us maintain and don't allow any hooligans to spit the red paan on the walls. Why create dirtiness, this is where germs and insects get attracted and then spread sickness. Please don't spit on the roads and walls. The Lamp Posts are installed which give that old heritage look. Let us all take a vow and maintain our Mumbai and help BMC to beautify. No

One of the few green spaces in the neighbourhood. Has two gardens which are parks with lawns and walking paths for walkers and joggers. One of these gardens closer to the main road side entrance has the Gandhi Memorial Column located in its center. The other garden is mainly recreational with a big lawn surrounding the central fountain and a wide square walking track along the lawn. Towards the inner entrance of the maidan is a newly renovated children's park, behind which there is another small open playing field. Adjacent to these two is the biggest ground of Gowalia Tank open to everyone, to do anything and play any sport. Right opposite this ground is another smaller ground which shares the entrance to the Fellowship School located behind it. It has a dedicated volleyball corner which attracts some great players and a number of spectators. These two grounds are usually crowded with enthusiastic young and old cricketers, soccer lovers, volleyball players and bystanders.

A historic recreation ground located in Tardeo. Earlier known as Gowalia Tank Maidan, this ground marks the spot where Mahatma Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement on August 8, 1942. It houses a monument commemorating the historical event. Also, it has amenities like a playground, walking track, fountain etc. This ground had wall mounted 3D carvings and a memorial plaque dedicated to the martyrs. This ground gets crowded during the evening hours. There is no entry fee. Had taken a stroll around the ground, admired the 3D wall carvings and soaked in the history of the freedom movement. This ground is an ideal place for families, couples, children as well as senior citizens. It is a must visit and should not be missed.

One of the best and awesome playground for kids. It has full rubber flooring, good sitting place, benches for parents, around 9 slides, 2 sea-saws, 8 swings, and many more attractions. It is clean also. Garden closes at 9pm. It has nice lighting too. Even good for skating. There is no bathroom in park. There is one sandwich-wala, bhel-puri-wala, gola-wala, dosa-wala outside main entrance of August Kranti Park. Enjoy. Turab Hirani.

Great place to play , has big ground. Various sports can be played. It also has 3 gardens out of which 1 is for children under 12. The other two are open to the public. The main ground is on the right hand side. It has three entry and exit points. One on the Gowalia Tank side and the other on the gamdevi side. The third one opens up into the Fellowship School. Outside there is a statue of Maneckji Petit.
