A large open place in South Mumbai. An old stone cross (crucifix) was built in the ground during Portuguese rule in the 16th century, hence the name. The ground is used for cricket in the dry season and association football during the monsoons. Near the southern end, the Mahindra United Club, a national-level club, has undertaken a lease of a small portion of the ground.
Cross Maidan is a vast expanse of land in Mumbai. The term maidan means "playing ground" in Marathi. The ground measures 23,000 m2. The name "Cross" is derived for the old stone Cross (crucifix) built when the city was under Portuguese rule in the 16th century. The maidan is under the jurisdiction of the district collector. In 2009 it was announced that a 30-foot tall steel sculpture inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's charkha would be installed at the maidan. In the same year, the government also announced that it would be laying a water tunnel from the Malabar Hill reservoir to Cross Maidan at the cost of Rs. 940 million. It is claimed that the South Mumbai locality will have adequate water supply once this water tunnel is completed.
