Hutan Kota Srengseng — Attraction in Jakarta

I recently visited Hutan Kota Srengseng, and while it offers a scenic escape from the urban environment, there are several areas that need significant improvement. The entrance fee of 6K for car and 3K for person suggests a level of maintenance and care, but unfortunately, the park falls short in this regard.

Firstly, the overall maintenance of the forest is lacking. Many paths are not well-kept many trashes over there which detracts from the natural beauty of the area. Additionally, the lake within the park is in poor condition, it’s visibly dirty and emits an unpleasant odor, which makes it less inviting.

These issues have a noticeable impact on the overall experience. The park's potential is undermined by its current state of disrepair, and the entrance fee does not seem justified given the conditions.

To enhance the visitor experience, I recommend that the park management prioritize regular maintenance and cleaning of both the trails and the lake. Improved facilities and upkeep would significantly elevate the appeal of this city forest.

In its current state, I would advise potential visitors to consider these factors before...

Its one of a must visit place for natural escape in the midtown. Like it's name, it's literally a huge and wide forest with a lake inside. No entrance fee to get into this place.

It has paved pathways for visitor to have a walk inside, just keep walking on it, and you will never get lost. It has a few hall open air area, for some event.

Some schools are coming here to let their students learn about the variety of trees and plants in this forest. Some trees have nametag with their English or Latin name, but not all of them.

If you come here, please bring your own food or drink, and dont forget to keep this area clean. Trashbin are available is some spots, but I suggest to bring out your own trash. Toilets and praying room are only available in the official building, but im not sure if its a public facility.

Its a recommended place especially on weekend, or when it has an event here. Please bring your children, nephews or nieces so they can play and learn about trees and plants, therefore they can help to keep this...

Terletak di Jalan H. Kelik, Srengseng, Kembangan, Jakarta Barat, Hutan Kota Srengseng merupakan ruang terbuka hijau seluas sekitar 15 hektar yang menawarkan suasana alam asri di tengah hiruk-pikuk kota. Diresmikan pada tahun 1995, kawasan ini awalnya merupakan tempat pembuangan sampah yang kemudian direhabilitasi menjadi hutan kota yang rindang dan menyejukkan.

Dengan lebih dari 10.000 pohon dari 60 spesies berbeda, seperti akasia, mahoni, flamboyan, dan jati, pengunjung dapat menikmati keanekaragaman flora yang dilengkapi dengan papan informasi edukatif. Selain itu, kawasan ini juga menjadi habitat bagi berbagai fauna, termasuk burung dan reptil seperti kadal.

Hutan Kota Srengseng menyediakan berbagai fasilitas untuk mendukung kenyamanan pengunjung, antara lain jogging track dari beton yang aman digunakan bahkan setelah hujan, area bermain anak, musala, dan toilet umum. Terdapat pula danau buatan yang sering membuat suasana semakin asri dan sejuk.

Bagi yang ingin berolahraga, tersedia area panjat tebing dan menara pandang yang menyatu dengan fasilitas tersebut, namun saat saya berkunjung fasilitas ini sedang rusak. Kawasan ini juga sering digunakan sebagai tempat edukasi lingkungan, dengan adanya nursery dan penjualan tanaman hias.

Hutan Kota Srengseng buka setiap hari dari pukul 07.00 hingga 17.00 WIB. Tiket masuk sangat terjangkau, hanya Rp3.000 per orang dewasa.

Secara keseluruhan, Hutan Kota Srengseng adalah destinasi yang ideal untuk rekreasi keluarga, olahraga, atau sekadar mencari ketenangan di tengah kota. Dengan fasilitas yang lengkap dan suasana yang asri, tempat ini layak menjadi pilihan untuk melepas penat tanpa harus keluar...
