History

The 73-acre (0.30 km²)^[4] park is notable for being the place where the former Bangladeshi President, Ziaur Rahman was buried. It is connected to the road with a bridge which runs over Crescent Lake, dug in the 1965–1966 fiscal year.^[5][6]

Following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina led Awami League government in August 2024, Chandrima Udyan was renamed to its previous name Zia Udyan.^[7][8]
