Dhanmondi Lake
Dhanmondi is one of the most crowded and planned areas in Dhaka city & Dhanmondi Lake area is one of the city's prime green spots and everyday many people visited the area.
It is situated in the middle of dhaka City. Originally Dhanmondi Lake was an abandoned channel of the 'Karwan Bazar Nadi' previously known as the 'Carevan River', whose alignment was possibly along Begunbari Khal-Green Road-Kalabagan-Dhanmondi Lake to the turag river. Part of this lake still functions as a storm water drain and falls into the Begunbari Khal. Expansion of urbanisation in this area during Pakistan period has changed the natural water system in this place. Dhanmondi residential area was developed in 1956 with 240.74 ha of land including the lake. The lake is about 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi and has been playing a vital role in maintaining the only drainage system of Dhanmondi and adjacent areas. It also shows some trellis pattern together with the dendritic pattern of drainage system. The lake offers attractive panoramic views to many thousands of people who live in the vicinity.
The lake has become a well visited tourist spot, with cultural hubs such as the Rabindra-Sarobar located along its side.
Beginning from Jigatola the lake extends up to Road # 27 (new l6A), and bounded by the Mohammadpur-Lalmatia area in the north, Satmasjid Road in the west, BDR (bangladesh rifles) Gate (Dhanmondi Road # 2) in the south and in the east by Kalabagan residential area. It is 3 km in length, 35-100m in width, with a maximum depth of 4.77m and the total area of the water body is 37.37 ha.
The lake is under the management of several authorities looking after its various aspects. The Ministry of Works has its ownership; the Fisheries Department looks after fishery development the Dhaka city corporation being the principal civic body, exercises some responsibility in its improvement. The Department of Environment looks after the aspects of proper environment and protection of aquatic resources of the lake.
Dhanmondi is well known for its lake. The lakeside walkway is one of the most popular destinations in Dhaka and is usually crowded with people during the evenings. One of the more prominent features of the lakeside walkway is the Rabindra Sharabar, an open air amphitheater near the Road 8 bridge, where dramas, concerts, and various cultural programs are held from time to time by both amateur and well known artistes, especially during major festivals and holidays.
