Boshonto Park
Details: Boshonto Park is a beautifully landscaped public park and recreational area located on the slopes leading up to the Tura Peak. The name "Boshonto" translates to "Spring," and the park truly embodies this season throughout the year with its well-maintained flower beds and lush green lawns. I t was designed to provide a space for relaxation and family outings for the residents of Tura. The park offers one of the best vantage points to see the entire town of Tura sprawling below. On a clear day, the view extends even further to the plains of Bangladesh. The park is divided into several sections, including a children's play area, a series of walking paths, and quiet corners with benches for elderly visitors. The architecture of the park includes several gazebos and viewpoints that are built in a style that complements the hilly terrain. During the flowering season in February and March, the park is a riot of colors with roses, dahlias, and seasonal blooms at their peak. It is a popular spot for morning joggers and evening walkers who come to enjoy the cool breeze and the scenic beauty. The park also serves as a gateway for those planning to trek further up to the Tura Peak observatory. Its proximity to the city center makes it an easy escape for anyone looking for a quick nature fix without traveling far. The management has done a commendable job in keeping the park clean and eco-friendly. It is often used as a venue for small community gatherings and awareness programs. For a tourist, Boshonto Park is the ideal place to watch the sunset, as the sky turns into shades of orange and pink over the Garo Hills.
