MENTENG PARK



The city park in Jakarta must have been much rarer, although the park is necessary for the source of water infiltration and also places its citizens in leisure activities. One of the famous garden city and the most frequently visited Jakarta is Taman Menteng (Menteng Park).

The park is located not far from HI traffic circle, about 300 meters to the west. The location of this park on the street HOS Cokroaminoto and is a garden in the middle of a city that has facilities such as parking buildings, greenhouses, playground and open field to play futsal, basketball, volleyball and taekwondo martial arts, activities that are all crowded in the evenings.

Initially an area of ​​more than 2 acres, is a football field, belongs to Persija, the Jakarta's Footbal Club. But over time, because it is not often used, then a lot of standing unlicensed buildings and  sidewalk cafe so that the field has lost its function and look very neat. Finally in 2007, by the government, the field was later renovated to become a beautiful family recreation. There are water fountains at several places and jogging track for those who like a leisurely stroll or jog.

In Taman Menteng many impromptu photographer, who perpetuate this Menteng neighborhood park for the object lens of the camera, either from a simple camera of the phone, nor a tripod.
