Nestled along the serene banks of the majestic Padma River, Oddvar Munksgaard Park—fondly known by locals as Padma Garden—is one of Rajshahi’s most cherished natural landmarks. Stretching nearly one kilometer from Futkipara to Dargapara in the Borokuthi area, the park offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, fresh river breeze, and peaceful ambiance.
The park is named in honor of Oddvar Munksgaard, a Danish architect and development worker who made significant contributions to Rajshahi’s urban and cultural development. Over the years, the park has become a favorite spot for both residents and visitors seeking a quiet escape from the bustle of the city.
With its lush greenery, walking paths, and panoramic river views, Padma Garden provides an ideal setting for morning walks, evening strolls, and moments of reflection. During sunset, the horizon comes alive with shades of gold and crimson, creating a breathtaking view that captures the soul of Rajshahi’s riverside charm.
For travelers staying at Ashrai Inn, Oddvar Munksgaard Park is just a short drive away — a must-visit destination to experience the calm, culture, and natural elegance that define Rajshahi. Whether you wish to capture the beauty of the Padma River, enjoy a peaceful walk, or simply breathe in the fresh riverside air, this park promises an experience that lingers long after your visit.
