Bangabandhu Udyan, Urban park in Barisal, Bangladesh

The 9.47-acre green space features a central playground, walking paths, a helipad, numerous trees, and borders a lake near the Kirtankhola River.

Established in 1896 during Beatson-Bell's magistracy, the park commemorated Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal Sir Alexander Mackenzie's visit and was funded through public contributions.

The park hosts social gatherings, sports activities, and contains a stage with a mural dedicated to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding leader.

The park received substantial improvements in 2011, including new walking paths, bench installations, and enhanced lighting systems at a cost of 1 Crore Taka.

The space served as a platform for speeches by national leaders and transformed from its original name, Bell's Park, to honor Bangladesh's first president.
