One of the only few parks in the hustle bustle of Jakarta megapolis. It's a sad reality but certainly a rarity to treasure. Right in the corner of the entrance of Tangerang toll road entrance, traffic noise would be your constant friend in the background. Aside from that, it's conveniently close to Taman Anggrek-Central Park area.
The park has a nice paved walking path encircling the not-so-picturesque brown pond. But if you are running, you'd probably want to go off the path along the trees because the pavement is not really that even and quite tight. Encircling the park off the path would be around 400 meters long.
Worth to mention is a sculpture by a Ukrainian artist to symbolize Jakarta and Kyiv's connection as sister cities. It's located near the entrance and it's a statue of Anne de Kyiv, who was the queen of Henry I of French.
It's a favorite spot for the locals. Little kids jumping around in the fountain, a little girl is playing badminton with her father, a couple is sharing nasi bungkus together. Truly a park for the people.
A park won't be complete without street food. The vendors are prohibited from entering the park but they can be easily found in the entrance, including the never-go-wrong tahu gejrot. ????????
