Faizul Khan Tanim finds peace at Gulshan Tank Park

When you step in to the President Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park, commonly known as Gulshan Tank Park or the Gulshan Ladies Park, you will see the unexpected abundance of greenery, no pollution, and officers all about to maintain security, which might inspire you to carry on with your physical workout here, as it is quite peaceful.

The park sports signboards with diagrams and social messages, such as the significance of walking and harmful effects of smoking. The tracks that run throughout have marks to indicate distance – two laps around the park equal 1.12 km and there’s even a signboard to present the approximate number of calories one burns per lap.

It is a safe place for both women and children to gather, with a big pond, both flat and elevated walkways, a separate play area for the children, and a huge basketball court.

You can find serenity here in the evenings with the fresh breeze, lush greenery, the sight of different birds, a deer and ducks as graceful as swans.

Even at night the lights stay on late, and you can comfortably make a few laps to shed some weight and stay healthy. If there’s a power failure, and you are lucky to be out on a moonlit night, you will have no difficulty in locating the tracks and the exercise will be quite charming.

Be sure to drop by Gulshan Tank Park if you’re looking for some peace of mind.
