About

Foy's Lake is a magnificent and historic man-made lake nestled amidst the scenic, rolling green hills of Pahartali in the port city of Chattogram. Originally created in 1924 by the Assam Bengal Railway authority under the engineering supervision of Mr. Foy, the lake was initially constructed to supply clean water to the railway colony. Over the decades, it has transformed into one of the most popular and comprehensive amusement and eco-tourism hubs in Bangladesh. Spanning over a vast area of beautifully contoured hilly landscape, the lake is enveloped by dense sub-tropical trees, providing a serene sanctuary for local wildlife and avifauna. Today, the location is modernly managed as a multi-component theme park complex. Visitors can embark on scenic boat rides through the winding labyrinth of the lake, surrounded by towering green hills, or visit 'Sea World Foy's Lake'—a premium water park featuring wave pools, high-speed water slides, and artificial rain dances. The complex also features an amusement park filled with thrilling rides, a lakeside resort for luxury stays, and dedicated picnic spots. The harmonious blend of raw natural topography, historic legacy, and modern entertainment infrastructure makes Foy's Lake a quintessential urban escape for families, couples, and tourists visiting Chattogram.
