"Kelapa Genjah planting is our priority, I want this tree to grow a lot to match the name of our region," he explained.
In its arrangement, there was also weed cleaning, tree pruning, and repairs to road boundaries for pedestrians.
"After it is complete, hopefully, residents will take part in looking after and maintaining all the plants and facilities that have been built in this RTH area," he explained.
Kelapa Tunggal Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) Chairman, Safaat strongly supports the area planning program, thus it becomes a better tourist attraction to Kelapa Island.
"Kelapa Island has achieved the achievement of being nominated in the top 75 for the Indonesian Tourism Village Award 2023 (ADWI). Hope more comfortable interaction parks will be created in the Kelapa Island area for residents and tourists," he hoped.
