On October 15, 1985, 1.40 acres of land next to the Shyamli Children's Hospital was handed over to the Dhaka City Corporation from the Ministry of Public Works for management as a children's park. Later, a park located in Gulshan-2 under the jurisdiction of Dhaka North City Corporation and a park in Shyamli were given a lease for installing modern play equipment at their own expense. From there the journey of Shyamoli Shishu Mela started.
