About Savar Eco Park

 

Savar Eco Park, situated near the suburb of Savar in Dhaka Division, Bangladesh, is an expansive green area developed to provide city residents with a natural environment for outdoor activities and environmental education. The park spans over hundreds of acres, featuring dense forested areas, landscaped gardens, and water bodies that support varied flora and fauna. As an urban eco park, it combines conservation priorities with public access, encouraging visitors to engage in bird watching, walking, cycling, and picnicking. The park plays an essential role in preserving local biodiversity, acting as an important green lung for the Dhaka metropolitan region. Opened in recent years as part of a government initiative to enhance urban greenery and promote eco-tourism, Savar Eco Park offers trails that vary in length and difficulty, alongside designated picnic zones and playgrounds. Visitors can find a variety of native trees, medicinal plants, and seasonal flowers, along with sightings of common wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and small mammals. The park is accessible to families, nature enthusiasts, and casual visitors alike, providing a peaceful outdoor escape from the busy urban environment. Its proximity to Dhaka makes it a favorite weekend destination for nature walks and environmental activities. The park also hosts educational programs aimed at raising awareness about environmental protection and sustainable living. Facilities include walking paths, parking areas, information boards, and restrooms, making it suitable for day trips and group outings.
