Ramna Park

Ramna Park is a large park and recreation area situated at the heart of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Park is one of the most beautiful areas in Dhaka with lots of trees and lake near its center. It is a traditional and historical park.

The center of Dhaka, the booming city of 50 million people lies green sanctuary with thousands of trees, spacious green meadows with picturesque walkways, and a serene lake. The place is so peaceful, but so near to some of the busiest area of the capital city that anybody entering the space will feel like they are lost in the garden of Eden, where honks of rushing vehicles, unbearable heat radiating from their engines, and footpaths full of rushing pedestrians are replaced by sweet chirps of birds, cool breeze from lush lakeside gardens and walkways covered with flowers falling from blossoming gulmeher trees.

The history of Ramna is as old as the city itself. In 1605, when Mughal Subadar Islam Khan Chishty conquered Bengal from the Pathan kings, he established the provincial capital in Dhaka and named it Jahangirnagar. Islam khan selected Ramna as the quarter of high ranking Mughal officials. The name Ramna which is a “Persian” word meaning “Lawn” was also given by the same renowned Mughal governor. However, after the fall of the Mughal Empire, the entire area of Ramna was abandoned and it was soon covered in thick vegetation.

Ramna Park is open on all weekdays between 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. There’s no restriction and police are always there to protect general people. This park is open for seven days and every day from the very morning to till at &7:00 PM.
