Oddvar Munksgaard Park, Public park in Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
Oddvar Munksgaard Park is an 8-hectare space in Rajshahi with winding paths, an open-air stage, and several landscaped gardens. The grounds feature regional trees and plants that define the vegetation of the area.
The park was established in 1976 and named after Oddvar Munksgaard, a Norwegian ambassador who served in Bangladesh between 1971 and 1974. The naming honors diplomatic ties between Norway and Bangladesh during that period.
The open-air stage serves as a venue for local performances, festivals, and community events that reflect daily life in the city. These gatherings bring together residents and visitors to celebrate regional traditions throughout the year.
Public buses and private taxis provide direct service to the space, which is accessible daily for residents and visitors. The paths are straightforward to navigate and the grounds are compact, making it easy to spend time exploring at your own pace.
The space operates as an environmental education center with programs focused on regional plant life and urban greenery. These learning activities transform the grounds into more than a recreation area and add an educational dimension to visits.
