She noted that Cornel Simanjuntak Park serves as a vibrant public area actively utilized from morning through evening. Besides recreation and community gatherings, the park regularly hosts local events, such as Idul Fitri congregational prayers.

She went to say that the revitalization effort must extend beyond spatial arrangement to incorporate infrastructure upgrades aligned with the demands of various demographic age groups.

"I urge the mayor to prioritize this revitalization to maximize its benefit for locals, and I ask that proper attention be given to this matter," she expressed, Tuesday (11/3).

Alia specifically urged for the inclusion of child-friendly amenities, play areas, and lactation facilities. Such infrastructure is essential to ensuring a comfortable environment for visiting parents.

Further, she underscored safety and convenience as critical aspects of optimizing sports facilities and playgrounds.

She hoped that revitalizing Cornel Simanjuntak Park would enhance the standard of inclusive, family-oriented public open spaces.

"Child-friendly features and lactation spaces must be addressed so that mothers with young children can access these amenities, particularly for nursing," she concluded.
