Akkas Lake View Park & Resort

আক্কাস লেক ভিউ পার্ক এন্ড রিসোর্ট

The district's most talked-about new entertainment spot — a park wrapped around a large natural wetland. Visitors describe a village-fair-sized crowd here on Fridays: a Ferris-type wheel, twister, speedboat, flower valley, cottages. Praise and criticism both flow — some find the per-ride prices steep and the blaring ride speakers irritating; yet after the trip, the recurring verdict is that it's worth the money.

History & significance

The park is new and, by one account, still under construction — so some unfinished sections show. The owner farms fish in the beel itself; that wetland is the park's soul. Locals often refer to it simply as 'Park View'.

How to get there

From Chuadanga town (Gulshanpara), a reserved auto drops you at the gate for ৳160 — the return leg needs a separate bargain. Budget route: local auto to the bus terminal, a bus toward Sarjganj/10-Mile, then a short walk down the dirt path. The park sits on the Jhenaidah-Chuadanga highway midway between Sarjganj and 10-Mile bazar — turn right off the main road onto the dirt track.

Best time

Late afternoon to evening — the lit-up rides and golden light on the lake are the most photogenic. Fridays get packed; pick another weekday for calm.

Traveller tips

  • Rides cost extra beyond entry — carry extra cash.

  • The deep beel lies right beside the park — hold on to the children.

  • Bargain before buying food inside the park.

  • Students in school uniform are barred during term time — know the rule in advance.

  • Book cottages by phone ahead of your visit.
