Providing basic facilities in parks

Urban parks keep us connected to Nature. Fortunately, we still have some parks in Dhaka city. These are the places for children to play and elderly people to spend leisure time. Such frequently visited places must have basic facilities. But many of our parks do not have toilet facilities.
In the absence of toilet facilities, children are forced to relieve themselves in the open. Senior citizens, especially those who have diabetes, need to visit the toilet frequently. Hence it becomes necessary to provide neat and clean toilet blocks for the elderly visitors to the parks. These parks also need to have drinking water facilities. The park authorities should also provide sufficient security at these places. Adequate lighting of parks is also important. There should also be adequate benches in the parks as well as provision for litter collection at regular intervals.
