Wadia Park is a multi purpose stadium in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. The ground is mainly used for organizing matches of football, cricket and other sports. The stadium hosted six first-class matches between 1957 and 1979.[2] The first match was on 7 December 1957, where Maharashtra and Baroda played to a draw.[3] The stadium has not hosted any top cricket matches since.

It is home to the Maharashtra District Sports Office.[citation needed]
