Recreation Park and Rangpur Zoo

Recreation Park and Rangpur Zoo, Zoological park in Rangpur Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh.

Recreation Park and Rangpur Zoo is a facility with multiple animal exhibits spread across a large area, housing tigers, lions, hippopotamuses, and other animals from different parts of the world. The grounds also include a central recreational park with an artificial lake.

Construction began on 14 August 1988 on 21.51 acres in front of Police Lines School and College, at a cost of Tk 18 million. The zoo was established in 1989 and opened to visitors on 14 June 1991 with 23 species on display. It stands in Rangpur, in northern Bangladesh, and is the largest zoo in North Bengal.

The zoo's Bengali name, Binodon Udyan o Rangpur Chidiyakhana, pairs the animal collection with a recreation park, and the artificial lake, children's park and restaurant make it a weekend outing for Rangpur families. It is run as the city's central zoo, one of Rangpur's recreation spots.

The zoo lies east of Hanuman-tola road beside Police Line Road, near the District Administration Office. Rickshaws and local buses serve the area. The grounds cover 21.51 acres, so allow time to walk between the animal enclosures, lake and restaurant.

The zoo covers 21.51 acres (8.70 ha) beside Police Line Road, making it the largest zoo in North Bengal and the second largest in Bangladesh by area. It opened on 14 June 1991 with 23 species, and by 2018 held 215 animals of 26 species. BUET has completed a digital survey and feasibility study for a Dhaka and Rangpur Zoo Modernization Project.
