Taman Lansia, Urban park in Cibeunying Kaler, Bandung, Indonesia

Taman Lansia is a city park beside Gedung Sate in Bandung with two artificial lakes built as flood control for the Cileuncang area. The first lake covers 1,397 square metres at a depth of 4.5 metres and holds 1,806 cubic metres of water; the second covers 689 square metres, 3.8 metres deep, holding 753 cubic metres. A bridge links the two lakes, and steps along the edges let people sit, read or play by the water.

The park was originally called Taman Cisangkuy after the streets Cisangkuy and Cilaki that border it. It was inaugurated on 31 December 2014 by Bandung mayor Ridwan Kamil as part of his revitalisation programme, and became known as Taman Lansia because of the many elderly visitors who use its reflexology stone path.

At weekends, vendors sell traditional Indonesian foods like siomay and batagor from West Java, bringing local cooking customs to the open space. You can taste dishes prepared the way locals enjoy them, watching the casual cooking and eating that happens here daily.

The park is open 24 hours daily with free entry, so you can visit at any time that suits you. You will find jogging paths, children's play areas, and free wireless internet available throughout the space.

The park's name comes from the many elderly visitors who use its reflection path, a walkway paved with stones meant to massage the soles of the feet and aid blood circulation. The path was part of the 2014 revitalisation, and the park is still called Taman Lansia after them.
