Taman Prestasi can be freely translated as the Park of Achievement is situated along the main river that flows through the city center of Surabaya. When you turn left from the main street after the Big General Soedirman statue, you will see the installment of a fighter plane. If you go through the main entrance, you will see a connecting bridge to the backyard of the Presidential Palace called Grahadi. This old beautiful Grahadi also functions as the house of the East Java governor to receive important guests. If you really care about the history of the city, the small wharf by the river next to the connecting bridge used to be the entry point of the building, and the massive lawn which is now the front yard used to be the backyard. The connecting bridge is of course locked due to protocolar reasons. Kids love it so much here because they can play a lot. One probably good thing about this park is that no vendors are allowed. This park is one among the very few that is strictly patrolled by the Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja or the Civil Service Police Unit. Under this circumstance, you can rest assured that your kids will not beg for balloons, sweets, kites, molly fish, or detergent bubbles. or things that will force you to spend at least IDR 50,000 in one go. This park also functions as the departure point of little boats that sail along the river for kids. I once took my two-year old daughter for the boat ride, but a couple of days ago when I went there, I did not see the boats sailing, probably because of the renovations that are going on. How long is this park stretched? Along the street, so the park is just along the river. One more, the restrooms are generously available, and the good things are that they are free and well-maintained. One interesting thing, hunt for the sign that writes “Dilarang Pacaran” or No Flirting, especially dedicated to restricting young couples from being too openly...
