<P> The Gowalia Tank was initially used to bathe cows . Go - Walia comes from the marathi word Gaie (cow) Wala (owner of the cattle). The cattle owners would bring the cows to be bathed in the waters of the tank . The Maidan that exists over there presently was built over the tank, which still exists underground . Gowalia Tank was also a very prominent tram terminus . Trams would start and finish there and one could travel to the Prince of Wales Museum in one anna (six paise). </P> <P> The Maidan is now a popular playground . Cricket is the popular game although the monsoon season is primarily for football and volleyball . The ground has been split into 5 smaller grounds . The largest one is the playground, with one playground for children, one garden for promenades which is frequented by senior citizens and one ground is used by the Fellowship School . The last park area houses the Smarak or martyr monument which is a white marble tower that cradles a pink lotus atop it . </P> <P> A central road cuts through the maidan grounds and connects the August Kranti Road with Hughes Road . The ground connects Tejpal Road and Laburnum Road, Alexandra Road and August Kranti Road . </P>
