Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park (Bengali: বিচারপতি শাহাবুদ্দিন আহমেদ পার্ক) or in short Shahabuddin Park, is an urban park located in the Gulshan 2 area of Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1][2] In 2008 the lake was named Shahabuddin Ahmed lake, around which the park was founded in 2020 on a 9.45 acres (3.82 ha) of land.[3][4][5] The park was named Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park after the former Chief Justice and President of Bangladesh, Shahabuddin Ahmed.[4] The park houses a small gym, a bookstore, a prayer room and a cafe with indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements.[6][7] The park was a part of the Green Dhaka campaign, in which the main pond was cleaned and various trees were planted; this renovation cost €500,000–2,000,000.[8][9]
