Reported by Hendi Kusuma | Translated by Nugroho Adibrata
East Jakarta Administration plans to build nine children-friendly parks equipped with swings, giant chessboards, futsal fields, reflection areas, et cetera. These parks are expected to be a place for children to be creative and hopefully would minimize the case of violence against children.
The construction will be started next year
Head of East Jakarta Parks Sub-Department, Suzi Marzitawati, told that this year her party only built one children-friendly park on Jalan Raya Bogor, Kramat Jati. As for the additional nine parks, they will be built in Cililitan, Kelapa Dua, Jatinegara, Klender, and Kampung Rambutan.
“The construction will be started next year,” she stated, Tuesday (12/2).
