Known to very few, but this park in South Mumbai has a deep historical significance. It was from this spot that Mahatma Gandhi ordered the British to leave India and thereby launched the Quit India movement. This park was initially called the Gowalia Tank Maidan which was then renamed to August Kranti Maidan.
Today, this historic playground is split into different parts including a garden for children, walking paths, open ground for football or cricket and also houses a school and computer coaching classes as well. Just a few minutes from the park is the popular museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi - Mani Bhavan.
