About this audio guide
This guide to Hutan Kota Srengseng in West Jakarta starts at the lake, beside the anglers who bring their own rods and keep whatever bites. It digs into what lay on this ground before the trees, and the work that began here in nineteen ninety-four. You will also hear about the brick jogging track, the labelled trunks of teak and mahogany, and a mayor's plans for the place. Best heard standing at the water's edge.
