It is situated in one of Dhaka's most densely populated and affluent residential diplomatic zones.
Justice Shahabuddin Park Prayer Room is a dedicated devotional space located within the public grounds of Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park in Gulshan-2, Dhaka. The facility provides a designated area for Islamic prayers, integrated into the larger urban park redevelopment project initiated by the Dhaka North City Corporation. It serves local residents and park visitors seeking a quiet space for worship amidst a highly commercialized residential district. The structure features simple, functional architecture designed to blend with the surrounding green landscape. The prayer room remains one of the few designated religious facilities within the park's administrative borders. It is maintained as part of the park's broader maintenance schedule, ensuring access for daily congregation.
