Islam Gymkhana, Mumbai

Land for the gymkhana was allotted by the then Governor of Bombay, Lord Harris in 1890.

The gymkhana membership is open to people from all communities and is no longer restricted to Muslims.

[5] As the gymkhana land belongs to the collector, one of its lease conditions is that the grounds should be accessible to the general public and non-sporting activities such as weddings are allowed to be held at the ground for up to 30 days in the year.

[6] In 2009, the gymkhana found itself at the centre of controversy when it removed Abbas Kazmi as one of its trustees for defending 2008 Mumbai attacks accused Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab in court.

[7] In 2011, the collector restricted non-sport events to 25 days a year only on weekdays.
