After nearly 1.5 years of a revamp, the Shivaji Park Gymkhana (SPG) reopened today

The event marked a significant moment for sports and community enthusiasts in Mumbai, celebrating the legacy of the iconic park while promoting fitness and recreation

Attendees praised the upgraded facilities, which are expected to encourage greater participation in sports and outdoor activities

Both Tendulkar and Thackeray expressed their delight at being part of an initiative that blends heritage, community engagement, and a love for sports

Excerpts from the club’s website state that the Shivaji Park Gymkhana was born as the New Maharashtra Cricket Club in 1909

After a couple of migrations to other plots and even a club name change from ‘New Maharashtra Cricket Club’ to ‘Dadar Hindu Gymkhana’, a small plot of land was allotted to the club at Shivaji Park
