"This is an oase in the center of Medan City. A perfect place to do sport, exercise and gymastic as well. Even thought not in olympic standard size, field already in paving but still there is still a grassy part. For those who prefer to use gymnastic equipments, there ara a lot of choices. This place is always busy with people, in the early morning and afternoon especially during weekend."
