He explained that the multi-purpose court is intended not only for athletics but also for a wide range of social and community engagements that benefit the local neighborhood.

"Certainly, it can be used for futsal, community gymnastics, the Posyandu festival, and other positive resident activities. It will naturally evolve because community activities go beyond just sports," he explained.

He added that this multi-purpose field is expected to serve as a space for community interaction ranging from RT to RW levels. These joint activities are hoped to strengthen bonds and build togetherness among residents.

"In practice, the operation and utilization of the field will be coordinated with all local RT and RW administrators," he explained.

To preserve local order and neighborhood comfort, Arafat noted that the multifunctional court will not operate on a 24-hour basis.

"Usage schedules will be managed periodically to keep community activities orderly and well-balanced," he continued.

Arafat added that building this facility reflects the commitment of Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung to expand constructive recreational spaces for young people as a proactive measure against urban brawls.

"According to the plan, the multi-purpose court in front of Manggarai Station will be inaugurated personally by the Governor. We hope everything runs seamlessly," he concluded.
