The Oval Maidan is a large Grade I recreational ground situated in South Mumbai, India. It is named because of its oval shape and is situated just south of Churchgate. It is a popular recreation ground and most popular sports being played there are cricket and football. The ground measures 22acres (0.089km²) in area. Political rallies and religious functions are banned in the maidan.
History
The vast expanses of land of the Oval Maidan, Azad Maidan, Cooperage Ground and Cross Maidan until the early 20th century formed the area known as Esplanade.
Restoration
Till 1997, the ground was owned and run by the state government and was very poorly maintained. It was frequented by beggars, prostitutes and drug peddlers. Finally in 1997 a public charitable trust set up by the residents of the area, namely the OCRA (Oval-Cooperage Residents Association) was formed which petitioned the Maharashtra government to maintain the Oval maidan. The Maharashtra government did not respond to the petition, leading the group to take it to the Bombay High Court. The Court ruled in their favour, forcing the government to either maintain the maidan or hand it over to OCRA. The ground was subsequently handed over to the ORCA.

Why the Oval Maidan is so important to Mumbai?
On June 30, 2018, after almost a decade of efforts by conservation activists and history enthusiasts, this prominent ground in south Mumbai was declared a UNESCO world heritage site. The Oval Maidan, which is a grade 1 heritage site on its own, is not only one of the oldest planned open spaces in Mumbai but to this day remains one of the breathing lungs of the maximum city. And yet what makes this place iconic to Mumbai, is not just the vast open space of the ground but actually what lies around it.

The Oval Maidan is a large Grade I recreational ground situated in South Mumbai, India. It is named because of its oval shape and is situated just south of Churchgate. It is a popular recreation ground and most popular sports being played there are cricket and football. The ground measures 22acres (0.089km²) in area. Political rallies and religious functions are banned in the maidan.
History
The vast expanses of land of the Oval Maidan, Azad Maidan, Cooperage Ground and Cross Maidan until the early 20th century formed the area known as Esplanade.
Restoration
Till 1997, the ground was owned and run by the state government and was very poorly maintained. It was frequented by beggars, prostitutes and drug peddlers. Finally in 1997 a public charitable trust set up by the residents of the area, namely the OCRA (Oval-Cooperage Residents Association) was formed which petitioned the Maharashtra government to maintain the Oval maidan. The Maharashtra government did not respond to the petition, leading the group to take it to the Bombay High Court. The Court ruled in their favour, forcing the government to either maintain the maidan or hand it over to OCRA. The ground was subsequently handed over to the ORCA.
