        "summary": "Taman Lestari in Cilincing, North Jakarta, is in a deteriorating condition with broken facilities, slippery surfaces, and muddy areas, posing safety risks to children and failing to meet public space standards. Parents report injuries sustained by their children on the poorly maintained playground equipment, including a three-metre concrete slide and broken benches, raising serious concerns about child safety in the neighbourhood's public spaces.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 Amid the need for safe, child-friendly play spaces in\ndensely populated areas, the condition of Taman Lestari in Cilincing,\nNorth Jakarta, is deeply concerning.<\/p>\n<p>Damaged facilities, slippery surfaces, and dirty, muddy areas make\nthis park fall far short of the standards expected for public spaces\nsafe for children. For years, the park has not undergone any significant\nimprovements, despite its supposed role as a safe and comfortable space\nfor children to play and express themselves.<\/p>\n<p>A parent identified as Ita constantly reminds her children to be\ncareful when climbing onto a three-metre-high concrete slide. \u201cBe\ncareful, go slowly,\u201d she tells her children at the park on Thursday, 26\nFebruary 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Ita visits Taman Lestari almost every week to bring her two children\nto play. Because she visits frequently, her children are accustomed to\nclimbing the iron steps leading to the three-metre slide. Nevertheless,\nIta never lets her guard down, always standing at the base of the slide\nto supervise and ensure her children\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n<p>Her concerns are not unfounded. Ita reveals that her child once\nsuffered an injury whilst playing at the park. \u201cMy child once fell and\nhit the slide, injuring their back near the bone, and there was\nbleeding, but thankfully it wasn\u2019t serious,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Ita mentions that her child was injured by a broken\niron bench. \u201cThey also tripped on a broken iron bench and cut their\nleg,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond safety concerns, Ita also complains about the lack of play\nfacilities at the park. \u201cIt\u2019s not child-friendly because there are still\nmany muddy areas, the iron benches are broken, and the play equipment is\nincomplete,\u201d she says.<\/p>",
