About
Originally Burgemeester Bisschopplein, the park sits at the meeting of Menteng's three grand boulevards. Shaded by big trees, it holds six sculptures by artists from the six ASEAN member states of 1984, and makes a cool spot for a morning walk. Combine it with a stroll past Menteng's old villas.
