Kelanawisata.id, Sleman - Are you feeling worn out, Kawan Kelana? Or in need of some greenery not far from the city of Jogja? An artificial park area can be a place for healing. This green space can please the eyes, helping you unwind while gazing at lush, shady trees.

 

 

Located within the campus area of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Taman Kearifan, often called Wisdom Park, can be a healing destination for Kawan Kelana. It is also known as Lembah UGM. There is Danau Bijak on the northern side, a flower garden in the center, and a valley on the southern side. Activities such as running, leisurely walking, or simply sitting can all be done at Wisdom Park UGM.

In addition to these activities, Wisdom Park offers a cool and शांत atmosphere, making it suitable for Kawan Kelana to calm the mind. This supports wellness tourism, providing a sense of meditation. The gentle sound of water flowing from Danau Bijak enhances the natural ambiance, allowing visitors to breathe in the refreshing air.

Although this area belongs to the campus, it is open to the public. Wisdom Park has become a popular destination for residents of Jogja and the surrounding areas. It also serves as an educational space for flora, as it contains a variety of plant species.

On the southern side, a stream divides the valley, with a stretch of grass creating a scenic landscape offered by Wisdom Park. The scent of eucalyptus leaves adds fragrance to the surroundings. The valley becomes more vibrant when flowers bloom along the edges. Fish swim in the artificial stream, which flows toward the amphitheater on the southern side.

Generally, Wisdom Park is crowded on weekend mornings. The area becomes a space for light exercise in a green, tree-filled environment. With its diverse vegetation, the park acts as an effective carbon sink in the midst of Yogyakarta’s dense traffic, making the air feel several degrees cooler and fresher.

To reach this location, Kawan Kelana can enter the UGM campus through either the main boulevard gate or the back gate. Parking is available at Pusat Jajanan Lembah (Pujale) or the valley parking area. Wisdom Park offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, accessible to everyone.
