As an East Bandungers, the option to go to a park is somewhat limited. Either you go to one of many famous parks near the center of Bandung, or you go to your local, mini parks that scattered around residential areas in Antapani or Arcamanik. But with the opening of Kiara Artha Park, you have one additional options to go cycling, jogging or reading books while still trying to connect with nature.
The park is clean, there are lots of bench around and the fountain with the lake is also a good sights. You have to pay 10K Rupiahs for entrance fee and, if you go there by car or motorcycle, there would be additional parking fee that charges you hourly (around 3K/Hours for cars and 1.5K/Hours for Motorcycle)
I came at around 9 AM, and the sky is clear blue. However, the sun is getting hot and the trees were not big enough to offers shade, and the benches were not situated around those trees (which is kind of strange.)
For eating and drinking options, there are several places for tenants here but since the places were not filled, there are only two that I noticed: Solaria and a food stall, kind of like Nasi Rames.
I imagined the park would look like Central Park for East Bandungers. When the trees grow taller, the park will definitely be a nice and cozy place to get connect with nature...
Read moreIntegrated amusement park in town now open for public. The venue is so big so that you need to make sure which attraction you want to visit (the main entrance, from Mcd Restaurant or other entry point). I am rather bit suprpised with the entry price (only 10k rupiah you can enter many facilitie (big ponds with fountain entertainment, mini transportation rentals, mini food and drink vendors (some still in progress but mostly you can have snack, ice creams and cold drinks) and some historical monuments to educate the visitors.
If you enter the park, there is fountain attraction (scheduled) or you can rental mini vehicle (bikes, autoped or tram) to go around the park for 30 minutes at least, some communities in sight (rollerskates and photography) or just strolling around to enjoy the fresh air.
I suggest that you need to check the weather (at noon maybe there is some risk of sunburn since the park is open field, dont forget to apply sunscreen). There is also a notice that you need to watch children around the ponds since the depth of the ponds reach 4 m.
In conclusion, the park really suitable for your family to spend weekend on. Dont forget to prep some cash or digital money to enjoy most attractions or buying...
Read moreI've been many times here but this time is bad experience 🙄 Mau sharing ke pihak management @kiaraarthapark mungkin gatau, atau tau tp no action, mengenai paid parking di area AIUEO Hari ini 18 Oktober 2024. Masuk melalui gate secure parking loh ya, tertera tarif parkir Mobil Rp3000/jam, motor Rp1500/jam... Pas mau keluar, di cegat 3 mas-mas seragam hijau seakan disana lah tempat pembayaran untuk keluar gate parking (tp secara manual, tidak ada gate). I went by MotorBike, I'm not even finish 1hour, I leave the place by 17.30pm, I took the ticket was from 17.03pm. And they charge me for more than an Hour ? I ask why? They said because there's event (which I don't even go to that event) so they will charge you because there's event??? Hello this is you call Smart Gate? Trying to fool people, bribing? Not make sense.
Please avoid those behaviour staff of yours, like primitive, and it's corruption. Hope there's no one have the same bad experience...
