Another tourist destination in Solo! It's a great opportunity to join the Management Student Summit in Solo last year. We had a field trip to Balekambang Park, a huge park located in Ahmad Yani street. This park's opened at seven o'clock and will be closed at six in the afternoon. You can consider this park as a city forest because it's green everywhere. But it's not only about plants. You can find animals, too. I think this park is like nature, education, and art combined.
Two thumbs up for this park! I saw the great balance between ecosystem and recreation. Deer and turkeys are the example of the goodness of the habitat. And it has a pool at the back named PARTINI TUIN. Based on what I read on the internet, Partini was one of KGPAA Mangkunegara's daughters. The pool's beauty was completed with Partini's own statue. You can also enjoy the pool by boat.
There's one more statue; PARTINAH's statue. It's located in PARTINAH BOSCH, an area in which the trees grow well. I admit it, I liked the park simply because of the trees. Talking about art, this place has a little amphitheatre. There was a traditional dance practice when I was there. Since it's a multi-functioned place, we can even had a wedding party here. So, if I ask you "what are you going to do at Balekambang Park?", what will you answer me?
