Punti Kayu Nature Park
Taman Wisata Alam Punti Kayu
A pine-forest nature park in the northern part of the city, with shaded trails, monkey troops and small playgrounds, ideal for a cool-down stroll.
Punti Kayu Forest Park covers about 50 hectares and is known for its large stand of Sumatran pines, a rare expanse of green space within the city. Inside are trails, children's playgrounds, a small animal area and photo backdrops, and long-tailed macaques are often seen. Local families come for weekend picnics. Admission is low, and the park is about 7 km from the city center. Take the light rail to Punti Kayu station. The monkeys will snatch food, so do not feed them, and keep any food in your bag out of sight.
