It was yesterday afternoon. I had gone out a little far with my bike. Looking at the meter, I saw that the petrol was almost at the end. I thought, let's get the oil from the pump that is about 10 kilometers away from my house.
Although I have traveled on that road several times, I have never paid attention to the surroundings like that. But yesterday, as I approached the pump, I saw a huge arch and a beautifully decorated place on the side of the road. I was curious. I also had some time. I thought, before buying petrol, I should take a look and see what the place really is. When I entered, I was really surprised. Such a beautiful park is hidden here, and I had not noticed it before.
The name of the park is "Bagan Vishal Park" Hoibatpur Natore.
As soon as I entered the park, the calm and serene environment around me made me feel good. What I liked the most was a beautiful canal flowing around the entire park. The shade of the green trees on both sides of the canal water has created a great natural canvas. I saw a few visitors with their families and children cruising the canal in small boats. It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to cruise on such calm water in this mechanical life.
A beautiful concrete curved bridge has also been built to cross the canal. I stood on the bridge for a while and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. The view of the entire park from above is great.
As I walked, I saw a beautiful house inside, and inside that house there is an aquarium. I think one of the best attractions of the park is these colorful fish. Numerous red, white, gold and black colored Koi Carp and goldfish are swimming happily. The way the fish flock together when someone gives them food is a sight to behold. I stood there for quite a while and watched the water play of these fish.
Not only fish, I saw several swans and ducks roaming around on one side of the park. The free roaming of the ducks has given the park a natural and familiar look, just like our village.
The entire park has been carefully arranged. Rows of flowering trees have been planted to preserve the beauty of nature. I caught sight of beautiful red-colored japa flowers and white-colored tender bellflowers. These bright flowers amidst the surrounding greenery have increased the beauty of the park several times. Not only the plants, but the landscaping of the park is also very beautiful.
At one place, I saw that the ground has been raised and made like an artificial hill. There is a walking path and a place to sit on the hill. And there is an artificial fountain on that hill. A very beautiful lotus flower sculpture has been placed right next to the fountain. Maybe during holidays or on special occasions, water is arranged to fall from here. A swimming pool has also been kept inside the park for those who want to soak their bodies in the water on hot days.
There is no shortage of arrangements in the park for the entertainment of children. I saw a colorful toy train parked on one side. It goes without saying how much this red, green, and yellow train is loved by children. There are also quite high, twisted sliders or sleepers and a large swing for swinging. If someone wants to rest a little or have tea or coffee after wandering around, there is a great arrangement for that too. A very beautiful coffee house or restaurant has been built with water below and a round seating area on it. The feeling of soaking your feet in the water and drinking coffee will definitely be great.
All in all, the place seemed very cozy and peaceful to me.
After talking to some of the people in the park, I found out that there is not much crowd here all year round. Basically, it is during Eid or any big festival holiday that the people from the surrounding area flock here. Then, maybe this silent atmosphere is no longer there, and there are long queues for the rides.
However, for those like me who love to spend time in a quiet and noise-free environment, it would be the wisest thing to do here on normal days.
This park, which I discovered by chance, has given my afternoon a completely different dimension. I never thought that I would spend such a beautiful afternoon just by going to get petrol for my bike. There are so many beautiful places scattered around us, if you take a little time and keep your eyes and ears open, you might find all such wonderful places.
I hope you like it
