Flower park playground opened

JAKARTA (JP): Mrs. Tuty Try Sutrisno, the wife of Vice President Try Sutrisno, opened a playground at the Nusantara flower park in Cipanas, a mountainous area in West Java, yesterday.

The playground, designed for children aged between five and 16, has 10 rides including Super Go-Carts, a mini excavator, a mini forklift and a Kumba Express, which was modeled on a mini train from the early 19th century.

Mrs. Try Sutrisno said she expected the playground would significantly enhance children's creativity.

The entrance fee to the flower park is Rp 2,500. Visitors are then charged between Rp 1,000 and Rp 3,000 for entrance to each facility within the park.

The playground will be closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays unless a national holiday falls on one of these days.

The 35-hectare flower park, built in May 1995, was an initiative of the late Mrs. Tien Soeharto. (sur)
