Influential politicians have turned this parking lot meant for visitors of Dhaka Shishu Park into a "paid" parking space for outsiders like medical representatives making visits to nearby hospitals including Birdem and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical Hospital. At a nominal price, the motorcyclists could park their vehicles for all day long. Moreover, hawkers have set up shops, shrinking the space even more.
