Tour The Park 1: Jogging Park Kelapa Gading

Hey hey, fellas! Remember my previous blog about the green project I’m going to execute? Yup, Tour The Park project! Well actually, it’s not a serious or some paid project. It’s just my lala lili project as an earth trooper. Hoho.. So, I’m gonna start my review about the first park I just visited a week ago, Jogging Park Kelapa Gading.

What:
Judging from its name and appearance, this park is definitely a real jogging park. You know, a park where people do some serious jog, whether they do it in solo mode or with someone. I barely saw people jog with more than 2 friends here.

Where:
Do you know an intersection right before Kelapa Gading Mall in North Jakarta? Just look to the left, and there you go, Jogging Park Kelapa Gading. It has 2 entrances, from the boulevard, and about 20 m after you make a left turn from the intersection.

Yay:

It’s so huge with lovely jogging track and beautiful landscape.

There are signs everywhere, so you’re not gonna get lost.

They have toilets. I put an “s” there because they have TWO toilets. Clean enough, and they put a hand soap on the sink. Not bad at all.

You can learn some trees name as they put its name beneath the trees. I saw Cambodia, Tabebuia, and Trembesi!

How I love this park, they have biopori hole here and there.

I bet you want something nice for your poor feet, don’t you? Look, some reflexology tracks are ready to be stepped!  Hop Hop!

Oh my gawd. What did I see there? Rabbits? Lovely rabbits with falling ears? Owh.. Apparently they have cages filled with some rabbits & huge hamsters! Uber cute! xD

Trash cans are everywhere! Every single where, I tell ya!

No hawkers and beggars. Nice.

You have kids or toddler? Don’t worry, they have a playground to make your kids happy to the max.

You feel like you don’t want to jog anymore? Try the simple sport equipment here. How cool is that, eh?!

Nay:

Sorry bicycle riders, you’re not allowed here. Go find a bicycle park instead a jogging park, will you?

Be careful with mosquitos attack!

Since there’s no hawkers, you probably want to bring your own tumbler.

So.. If you feel like jogging all day long, it’s a perfect place for sure. FYI their operational time is 5.30 – 22.00. See you on the next tour the park!

Tour The Park Project

Saya seneng banget main-main ke taman. Entah hanya untuk jalan-jalan sore, sepedaan keliling taman, sekedar makan somay yang mangkal, sampe godain bocah-bocah (yang mukanya dibedakin tebel banget sama emaknya) yang lagi makan bubur encer di taman.

Sedikit pengalaman saya di beberapa taman di Jakarta pernah juga saya share di SINI. Namun.. Saya punya project pribadi untuk mereview taman yang lebih banyak lagi. Skup pertama sih tentu saja yang di Jakarta dulu kakak. Nama projectnya: Tour The Park Project. Sadeees gak tuh kedengerannya..? Haha. Review bisa dilihat dari pemandangan, siapa aja yang dateng, apa yang jadi daya tarik taman tersebut, lokasi, apa yang ngeselin dari taman tersebut, hingga apa saja fasilitas yang disediakan taman tersebut.

Nah untuk mendukung project ini, sudilah teman-teman untuk merekomendasikan beberapa taman di Jakarta untuk saya datangi dan review. Kalo ada yang mau nemenin saya untuk merealisasikan Tour The Park ini, boleh banget lho. Siapa tahu Pemda atau orang2 yang berwenang bisa melihat tulisan ini dan terketuk piintu hatianya untuk membenahi taman-taman di Jakarta. Bukannya malah digusur, kaya pohon2 yang ditebang untuk bikin jalan layang sekarang. Hiks. Sekian dari saya, selamat weekend semua!
