Foy's Lake Concord, Amusement park in Pahartali, Chittagong, Bangladesh
Foy's Lake Concord is a leisure complex spread across a large area with multiple entertainment zones built around a natural lake. It features a dry theme park with rides, a water park with slides, and a resort offering accommodations by the lakeside.
In 2004 Concord Entertainment Company Limited agreed with Bangladesh Railway to build a park on about 320 acres of railway-owned land at Foy's Lake under a 50-year build-operate-transfer arrangement. Ground was broken in November 2004, and the company invested 1.6 billion taka in the first five years. The dry park opened on 19 February 2004.
The dry park hosts live shows, concerts and festivals through the year, while the resort's lakeside cottages and chalets are described by Bradt Travel Guides as geared mainly to well-off domestic honeymooners seeking a one-day lakeside escape.
The site offers practical facilities including restaurants, changing rooms, and boat rental services for various activities. You should plan enough time to explore all areas, especially on weekends and holidays when the place gets busier.
The complex stands on about 320 acres (130 ha) of land owned by Bangladesh Railway, held under a 50-year build-operate-transfer arrangement signed with Concord Entertainment Company Limited in 2004. The company put 1.6 billion taka into the site in its first five years, and by 2018 reported close to 5,000 visitors a day on holiday weekends when the weather holds.
