Shakarparian ( Urdu: شکر پڑیاں; also known as Shakarparian Hills) is a hill and a national park located near the Zero Point Interchange in Islamabad, Pakistan.^[1] Pakistan Monument and Pakistan Monument Museum are also located in Shakarparian.

The old Gakhar tribe leaders settled here before the Indo-Pak partition in 1947; later, the clan was relocated to create a park for the newly marked federal capital of the country in 1960–61.^[2]

Shakarparian also has a parade ground that hosts the Pakistan Day Parade every year on 23 March.^[3]
