The park was designed as part of a larger initiative by the Dhaka North City Corporation to increase urban biodiversity.
The central pond acts as a natural retention basin for rainwater to help mitigate local drainage issues.
The project replaced a site that had previously been encroached upon by illegal structures.
The renovation focused on using local materials and sustainable landscaping to reduce ongoing maintenance needs.
Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park is a modern urban oasis located in the Gulshan-2 area of Dhaka, designed as a sustainable ecosystem. The park features a central water body surrounded by concrete and paved walking paths. It was developed to revitalize a previously neglected site into a public-accessible green zone. The landscape includes designated seating areas, native tree plantings, and lighting for evening accessibility. It serves as a rare open-air recreational space within the dense commercial and residential hub of Gulshan. The park layout incorporates universal design principles to ensure pedestrian flow around the pond perimeter.
The wooden jetty and seating area overlooking the pond provide the most expansive view of the park's greenery.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the proximity to the pond attracts insects, especially toward dusk.
Stay on the paved walkways to avoid damaging the carefully curated garden beds.
Carry your own drinking water as on-site options can be limited.
Do not attempt to swim in or fish from the central pond, as these activities are prohibited.
Maintain a quiet environment; refrain from littering; observe standard modest dress norms for public spaces in Dhaka.
