**Bendera Pusaka Park** ([Indonesian](/source/Indonesian_language): *Taman Bendera Pusaka*, lit. 'Heirloom Flag Park') is a 5.6 hectares (14 acres) urban park in the [Kebayoran Baru](/source/Kebayoran_Baru) [district](/source/Kecamatan) of [South Jakarta](/source/South_Jakarta), Indonesia, located near the famous commercial quarter of [Blok M](/source/Blok_M) to the east. It has an L-shaped design with an east-south-north alignment, which is formed by the merger of the existing Ayodya, Langsat and Leuser parks.[1][2]

## History

The district (*[kecamatan](/source/Kecamatan)*) of Kebayoran Baru was originally developed as a standalone [planned](/source/Planned_city) [satellite city](/source/Satellite_city) of [Batavia](/source/Batavia%2C_Dutch_East_Indies) (now [Jakarta](/source/Jakarta)) after [World War II](/source/World_War_II), carrying the principles of "[garden city](/source/Garden_city_movement)" onto its design. Thus, the planned city design has included many urban parks and other green spaces, including three separated yet adjacent parks in block C near Kyai Maja street, a site that what is now lies within the Kramat Pela subdistrict (*[kelurahan](/source/Kelurahan)*).[3] These three parks were later known as **Ayodya**, **Langsat** and **Leuser** parks, divided by the Barito and Kyai Maja streets to the east and north.

To the east of Langsat Park, there is Barito Street, where there used to be a row of kiosks for [ornamental bird](/source/Ornamental_bird) traders outside the compound, which had already existed since the 1970s.[4][5] Ayodya Park, formerly named Barito Park, was partially used for ornamental animal and flower kiosks that covered its frontage. These kiosks were inaugurated by then [Jakarta Governor](/source/Governor_of_Jakarta) [Ali Sadikin](/source/Ali_Sadikin) in 1970 and were collectively known as the "Barito Market" (*Pasar Barito*).[5][6] In January 2008, the Jakarta Provincial Government under [Fauzi Bowo](/source/Fauzi_Bowo) ordered the demolition of about 150 kiosks of the Barito Market, in order to restore Barito Park as an open green space. It drew clashes during the process.[7] The traders were relocated to the nearby markets, but some of them were given new kiosks along the eastern border of the Langsat Park at Barito street.[5] The reinstated Barito Park was reinaugurated as "Ayodya Park" by Governor Fauzi Bowo on 15 March 2009.[8]

In July 2025, Governor [Pramono Anung](/source/Pramono_Anung) envisioned an "[ASEAN](/source/ASEAN) Park" near the commercial square of [Blok M](/source/Blok_M); it was revealed that the vision is in a form of the revitalization and merger of Ayodya, Langsat and Leuser parks.[9] However, the plan name was changed to "Taman Bendera Pusaka" ('Heirloom Flag Park').[10] Because of this, the ornamental bird kiosks along the eastern border of Langsat Park had to be relocated and the traders initially refused to do so.[5][11] On 8 August 2025, a groundbreaking ceremony was held to start the revitalization and merging process; it was surreptitiously held to avoid protests from the traders.[12] The ornamental bird kiosks remained in site until they were ultimately demolished in late October 2025 and were later relocated on a site near [Lenteng Agung railway station](/source/Lenteng_Agung_railway_station).[13][14]

The revitalization and merging process costed around 100 billion [rupiah](/source/Rupiah) and was funded through [corporate social responsibility](/source/Corporate_social_responsibility).[15] On 14 March 2026, the Bendera Pusaka Park was inaugurated by Governor Pramono Anung and former [Indonesian President](/source/President_of_Indonesia) [Megawati Sukarnoputri](/source/Megawati_Sukarnoputri).[1]

## Monument

Statue of Fatmawati sewing the *[bendera pusaka](/source/Bendera_Pusaka)*

There is one monument within Bendera Pusaka Park, namely the statue of the [first lady](/source/First_ladies_and_gentlemen_of_Indonesia) [Fatmawati](/source/Fatmawati), the third wife of the first Indonesian President [Sukarno](/source/Sukarno). Designed by Teguh Ostenrik, it depicts her sewing the *[bendera pusaka](/source/Bendera_Pusaka)*, the first Indonesian flag flown during the [Independence Procamation](/source/Proclamation_of_Indonesian_Independence) on 17 August 1945.[2][16]

## Facilities

North zone of the park

With a total area of 5.6 hectares (14 acres), Bendera Pusaka Park is divided into three zones: the east (formerly Ayodya Park), south (Langsat) and north (Leuser) zones. It has an iconically-designed red skybridge that connects the east and south zones, which is inspired by the span of the [Indonesian flag](/source/Indonesian_flag) and mimics those in [Tebet Eco Park](/source/Tebet_Eco_Park). The south and north zones are connected via a tunnel below the Kyai Maja street, in line with a canal. The park includes a 1,2-kilometre jogging track, multifunction halls, *[musalla](/source/Musalla)* (small space for [Islamic prayers](/source/Salat)) basketball court, and a free-to-access [padel](/source/Padel) court.[1]

## Transportation

Bendera Pusaka Park is primarily accessible via the [Transjakarta](/source/Transjakarta) [bus rapid transit](/source/Bus_rapid_transit) (BRT) network. The nearest Transjakarta BRT station is the Mayestik BRT station of [Corridor 13](/source/Transjakarta_Corridor_13) to the west at Kyai Maja Street and the [Blok M Bus Terminal](/source/Blok_M_Bus_Terminal) of [Corridor 1](/source/Transjakarta_Corridor_1) to the east. The network also provides feeder services that pass and stop around the park. Aside from that, Bendera Pusaka Park is also accessible with the [Jakarta MRT](/source/Jakarta_MRT) with an approximately 400-metre walk from [Blok M BCA MRT station](/source/Blok_M_BCA_MRT_station).[17]

## Criticisms

About two weeks after inauguration, the canal at Bendera Pusaka Park became an eyesore as it was [polluted](/source/Water_pollution) and releasing a foul smelling odor. The management said that a waste treatment installation is still under construction to relieve the issue, which is due to be finished by June 2026. During the inauguration, Pramono promised that, once the waste treatment is operating, the canal will be "as clean and crystal clear as [those](/source/Cheonggyecheon) in [Korea](/source/South_Korea)".[18][19]
