Alun-alun
Bogor
is
a
new
attraction
in
the
heart
of
Bogor,
which
was
inaugurated
by
the
governor
of
West
Java
on
December
17,
2021.
The
park
covers
an
area
of
1.7
hectares
and
is
surrounded
by
historic
buildings,
such
as
Bogor
Station
and
the
Grand
Mosque.
Alun-alun
Bogor
has
a
modern
design
that
resembles
the
open
space
concept
in
European
countries.
It
also
has
various
facilities,
such
as
a
botanical
zone
for
relaxation,
a
sports
zone
for
recreation
and
exercise,
a
plaza
zone
for
education
and
art,
and
a
religious
zone
that
is
integrated
with
the
mosque.
Alun-alun
Bogor
is
a
great
place
to
enjoy
the
green
scenery,
the
fresh
air,
and
the
cultural
heritage
of
Bogor.
However,
the
construction
of
alun-alun
Bogor
also
means
the
end
of
taman
topi,
which
was
a
legendary
park
for
children
and
families
in
Bogor.
Taman
topi,
which
was
also
known
as
taman
Ade
Irma
Suryani
or
taman
Wilhelmina,
was
built
in
1975
and
had
various
attractions,
such
as
giant
hat-shaped
buildings,
a
mini
train,
a
helicopter,
a
balloon
castle,
and
a
swimming
pool.
Taman
topi
was
also
a
place
for
social
and
musical
events,
especially
for
indie
bands.
Taman
topi
was
a
part
of
Bogor’s
history
and
identity,
and
many
people
have
fond
memories
of
it.
Taman
topi
has
now
moved
to
a
new
location
at
the
foot
of
Mount
Salak,
with
a
new
name
of
taman
topi
Chiquita.
The
new
park
still
has
some
of
the
old
attractions,
as
well
as
an
outbound
area.
The
new
park
also
offers
a
beautiful
view
of
Mount
Salak
and
a
cooler
atmosphere.
However,
some
people
may
feel
that
the
new
park
is
not
the
same
as
the
old
one,
and
that
the
relocation
of
taman
topi
is
a
loss
for
Bogor.
Therefore,
alun-alun
Bogor
and
taman
topi
represent
two
sides
of
Bogor’s
development.
On
one
hand,
alun-alun
Bogor
is
a
symbol
of
Bogor’s
progress
and
modernity,
which
can
attract
more
visitors
and
boost
the
economy.
On
the
other
hand,
taman
topi
is
a
symbol
of
Bogor’s
nostalgia
and
tradition,
which
can
preserve
the
culture
and
the
memories
of
the
people.
Both
parks
have
their
own
charms
and
values,
and
both
deserve
to
be
appreciated
and
respected.
