Dhanmondi Lake, Urban lake in Dhanmondi district, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Dhanmondi Lake is an urban water body running through a residential district with varying widths and modest depth. Bridges and paved walkways line the shore, creating multiple points where visitors can view and access the water.
The lake formed from an old riverbed that was once part of the regional water system. Over time it became integrated into the neighborhood's infrastructure and now serves important drainage functions.
The lake is a gathering place where local residents exercise in the morning, socialize in the evening, and spend time with family throughout the week. The surrounding parks and paths have become central to daily neighborhood life.
The lake is best visited during daylight hours when the pathways are clear and safe with plenty of other visitors around. Comfortable walking shoes and sun protection are recommended as shaded areas are limited.
The lake occupies a significant portion of the district's area and plays a critical role in managing the city's stormwater. An underground system channels water through the area to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall.
