Zinda Park (Also spelled as Jinda Park, জিন্দা পার্ক) is one of the attractions of Narayanganj district. The park is spread over an area of about 150 acres in Rupganj upazila of Narayanganj. With more than 10,000 species of trees of about 250 species, 5 reservoirs with a vast area, innumerable wings, the park has become one of the most visited places for tourists from home and abroad.
Being very close to Dhaka, it is also appreciated as a picnic spot. The park has several bungalows for the convenience of tourists and picnickers. The park is currently the source of employment for about 4,000 people. Surprising to know, this huge park of 150 acres has been developed since its inception and its daily management has been done entirely with the spontaneous motivation and active participation of the locals. The “Agrapathik Palli Samiti” started in 1980 with a large family of about 5,000 members. This park is the result of 33 years of tireless work and sacrifice. There are very few examples of such a great cause, the active participation of so many people and the acceptance of sacrifices. The park has 3 boards named Ops Cabinet, Ops Parliament and Ops Commission.
Some of the recent steps taken by RAJUK regarding the management of the park have caused a stir among the media and environmentalists. According to RAJUK’s proposal, the management of the park should be shifted from a “Agrapathik Palli Samiti” to a separate management company to further develop the park into an international standard recreation center. However, environmentalists and other conscious groups are skeptical about the effectiveness of such an attractive transformation.
I will suggest you to read the post of Things to Do in Dhaka city as well.
The local administration, considering the long 33 years of successful management of the park and respecting the sentiments of the locals towards the park, has recommended no drastic change in its management.
