Getting There

Walking

From the Sylhet city center, such as Zindabazar or Bandar Bazar, Keane Bridge Park is easily accessible on foot. Head towards the Surma River. The walk is approximately 15-20 minutes and offers scenic views of the city and the river. The park is located next to the Keane Bridge, on the Circuit House side.
Rickshaw/CNG

From any point within Sylhet city, the most convenient way to reach Keane Bridge Park is by hiring a CNG auto-rickshaw or a traditional rickshaw. Simply ask to be taken to 'Keane Bridge' or 'Circuit House' (which is located opposite the bridge). Expect to pay around 50-100 BDT for a short ride within the city, depending on the distance and your bargaining skills.
Public Transport

If arriving by public transport at Sylhet Railway Station or the Central Bus Terminal, take a CNG auto-rickshaw or a local bus towards the city center. Ask to be dropped off near 'Dak-bangla road close to Shah Jalal road' or near the Surma River. From there, Keane Bridge is a short walk away. CNG auto-rickshaw fares from the railway station or bus terminal to the city center typically range from 50-80 BDT. Bus fares are typically very low, around 10-20 BDT per ride.

Discover more about Keane Bridge Park

Keane Bridge Park is more than just a green space; it's a living testament to Sylhet's history and enduring spirit. Located adjacent to the Keane Bridge, the park provides a serene setting where visitors can unwind, enjoy views of the Surma River, and contemplate the bridge's historical importance. The Keane Bridge, the park's namesake, was constructed in 1936 during the British colonial period. It was named after Sir Michael Keane, the Governor of Assam from 1932 to 1937, recognizing his role in the region's administration. The bridge served as a vital link connecting Sylhet's northern and southern parts, facilitating trade and transportation. Its construction was a significant engineering achievement, quickly becoming integral to the city's identity. The bridge's historical importance extends beyond its colonial origins. During the Liberation War of 1971, the Keane Bridge was targeted by Pakistani forces. Although damaged, it was later repaired and restored in 1977, symbolizing the resilience of the Bangladeshi people. Today, the Keane Bridge stands as a proud symbol of Sylhet, attracting tourists and locals alike. Its distinctive red steel structure, with its arched design, provides a striking contrast against the Surma River. Keane Bridge Park offers a peaceful respite from the city. Visitors can stroll along the riverbank, breathe in the fresh air, and admire the panoramic views. The park is popular with families who come to enjoy picnics. Local vendors often set up stalls near the park, selling snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. The park's location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring other Sylhet attractions, such as the Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal and Ali Amjad's Clock.
