About
GBK was built in 1960 with Soviet help for the 1962 Asian Games and rebuilt for the 2018 Asian Games. Beyond the main stadium, Istora and the newer Indonesia Arena, its tree-lined loops fill with runners and cyclists early in the morning and on weekends. Check the event calendar, as concerts and matches close parts of the complex.
